Personally, I think it would be best to direct effort at fixing bugs.
All kinds of bugs, not just things like buffer and integer overflows (hi
Tim :-).  It often happens that a seemingly innocent bug turns into a
security problem.

As I believe Guido said earlier, building a security model into the
language is really hard.  We don't have the resources to do it right.
I'm not sure Sun does either. :-)
