I don't think saying "use safer languages" is a good way to say it. It would help conditions significantly if greater care were taken to match the choice of programming language to the problem to be solved or application to be created. If a language like C is most appropriate, then use it, just be sure to take the extra steps needed to develop it securely. The problem is so much the programming languages as it is the way they are used.
