Why rewrite C and C++ parts? Just because someone doesn't program properly in one language doesn't mean you need to rewrite everything written in that language. Bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Because this type of mistake is easy to make in C and other programming languages make this class of bugs impossible. By moving the need for careful design from library to language implementation you get greater leverage in preventing bugs.
It isn't just accidental errors you need to worry about. Obfuscated intentional errors are a problem too. If the language design prevents bugs that an NSA mole would try to slip in, then that is a very good reason to rewrite in a new language.
