Read original comment ↗Matt Might (the subject of this article) gave a jaw-dropping talk a year ago, named "Winning the War on Error - Solving the Halting Problem and Curing Cancer" [1]. At least you can't blame him for the lack of ambition! But the best part is he's really getting it done. His security research led to developing very successful static analysis tools that exposed security bugs in real code. And he did manage to find a treatment for his own son's rare genetic disorder.
