Join the rest of us in post-1950's complexity theory. We can use register machines now. Or you can bust out the big bucks and buy a RASP.

It's all just theories. But yes the article is basically summarizing a new paper/model. Most likely: the model is incorrect in some ways. But maybe useful in others.

C has some of the best static analysis and debugging tools of any language, but all of that's worthless if you don't use them. Doubly so if you specifically handicap those tools and write your own obfuscated allocation scheme. Heartbleed was less an indictment against C and more an indictment against shitty code.
