From what I understand, the vulnerabilities in todays browsers are
related to plugins or dependent libraries, which are all natively
executed.
Writing a web browser in Ada that would not have those plugins (you
are not going to reimplement them, I believe) would be - as far as
security is concerned - equivalent to a reasonable existing browser
with all plugins disabled.
Am I missing something?
Could you refer to an existing browser vulnerability that is related
to the core browser engine and that would be avoided by choosing
another language?
(I'm genuinely interested)
