    • Microsoft: 70% of bugs are memory safety bugs
    • Google Chrome devs: Chrome: 70% of all security bugs are memory safety issues

    Even this article of the thread states it dropped from 76% to 24% through the introduction of Rust.

    If you seriously think:

    • most of those memory bugs were because “engineers didn’t care” or “didn’t double check their code”
    • the bugs were mostly introduced by newbies
    • those products were coded by incompetent people

    I’d like to see the water you walk on.

      I definitely thing that.

      The rest, not so much.
