It has been a long time I left CLA.

Perhaps I can answer these questions:

Developers like unsafe languages and they like debugging because:

1.) That will help securing their jobs because there are always bugs
to find.

2.) They can go to their bosses and say "We have to postpone because
there is a bug in the codes which we are having hard time to trace and
kill. We need more time and budget to clean this beast up!"

3.) They can get commission when they proposed to purchase XXX
debugger.

Hope these 3 answer the questions. :) Cheers!
