You're not actually reading Java code to see if it's secure, are you?

Actually, if you look at that again, you'll notice that he mentions that the
closer you get to the hardware, the harder it is to find the bug. Since C
and C++ are both closer than Java, I should be trusting apps written in Java
more than those written in C or C++. What is Meme written in again?
