It's easy to harp on PHP but I wonder if we're going to get this kind of vulnerabilities in languages like Python or Go soon too. | ||

PHP is worse in this aspect with its long tail of legacy and staying close to C. It's absolutely possible that memory-unsafe Python interpreters could have something vaguely similar, but it's much less likely. Plus there are Python interpreters in memory-safe languages. In any case, memory-unsafe codebases will continue to be a significant danger. Be it in interpreters or anywhere else. Just like they have been for the past 20+ years. | ||

The way things are going, I imagine there are going to be vulnerabilities found in everything | ||

Probably not. PHP is so badly built these kinds of things happen frequently. | ||
