The arithmetic comparison in Stagefright was written in C, not perl, and compared integers instead of floats, but the underlying fault is the same in each case: programming languages today assume that human programmers think like machines. Until that fundamental flaw is eliminated from all programming languages, the problem will not go away. That won't happen in my lifetime, or yours. And that is why I'm pouring another glass of wine and going to bed :)
