Well, he could have used Modula instead... ;-)

Seriously, I'm sick of all the security announcements regarding
buffer overflows and such. Not to speak of memory leaks. That's
stone age.

Furthermore exceptions are a very nice possibility to make proper
error handling feasible in complex projects hopefully resulting in
more secure code.
