This is intriguing. If those guys get it to work on complex, real-world web sites I think they can build a serious business around this. I'm gonna give this a try. Best of luck!
That's one of things that works best about open source stuff is that they get reviewed by more people. If os isn't possible, than it's better from this perspective to try and write in a higher level language that does these kinds of checks for the dev automatically such as Scala / Java etc.. Where the runtime does boundary checks. But if that's not possible as well than this article does suggest some good courses of actions. Good comments on it as well.
RHCP are really a smart group of people, and this article which is a good one does itself and them justice. I saw an interview their drummer Chad Smith did with Santana a few weeks back, a really laid back smart guy http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/in-conversation-chad-... I'd definitely listen to some life lessons from him.
It's lovely to see the torch being handed down in such a graceful way. This attitude is probably another reason why node has turned out so great. Really cool.
