Imagine if there was a hack so bad that it caused everyone to become unable to develop in C and C++.
Classic "let's just make the cure worse than the disease" mindset among security enthusiasts.
Well, there is one that will imply you can only develop using anything that you have bootstrapped yourself, using hardware that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself ...
... with your own bare hands.
