I think it's a great service to the users that a program like openssl-blacklist was available in a timely manner. Security scenarios like the one you mention highlight the importance that programmers should primarily use the language they know best for the task, instead of being 'forced' to use a certain language that might be less familiar or less suited for the purpose. Feel free to write a better version of openssl-blacklist in a language you think more apropriate. Feel free to write a better version of any software in the language of you choice. Or stick with whatever is given to you for free. No one ever forced you to use their free software.
