Well the time will come when you will realize that
1) every language has hoops to jump through to make them safe (e.g. garbage collection does not protect you from memory leaks) [1]
2) every 4-5 years or so someone comes out with a programming language/system* [2] (rust, go at the moment) that fixes it all and "encourages good practices" - and then the good practices change (e.g. microservices are making their second round. They're good for sysadmins/sres and very bad for programmers (because you have to serialize/deserialize everything and changes to the system propagate into potentially dozens of separate programs - and God help you if they're maintained by different departments)). I wonder what's next ? Data-oriented programming is the perfect solution for the problems of microservices, so that could be next I guess.
* they may call it programming language, they may call it a system. Of course, it's always both.
