Deconstructing the DAO Attack: A Brief Code Tour
One solution might be to design a safe language that compiles to the the language used in Ethereum. Not sure if possible within the given constraints.

Wouldn't it be better to just rewrite everything in that safe language and abandon whatever Ethereum is written in?

Sure, but many people are so deeply invested in Etherum that I doubt that it's going to happen. But perhaps there will be a competing system.

The only person who is currently really deeply invested is the hacker. The rest, not so much.

The problem then becomes ensuring that only code compiled from that language can run.

Just let people use whatever they want. Those who write unsafe contracts will get bitten but that's ok.

Seems like this option is now invalid since the devs have now shown their unwillingness to let their pet contracts 'get bitten'.
