    If you could reliably write memory safe code in C++, why do devs put memory safety issues intontheir code bases then?

    That’s a question you can ask to the guys promoting the adoption of languages marketed based on memory safety arguments. I mean, even Rust has a fair share of CVEs whose root cause is unsafe memory management.

        Well, there is cve-rs, just sayin’

          The fact that rustc has bugs (which is what cve-rs exploit) doesn’t invalidate that rust the language is memory safe.
