Relative to what?

  Relative to zero.

    No its relative to the total amount of bugs.

      In the context I was replying to, it's not. My response is to the claim that writing code in assembly has "few" bugs.
      • adamnemecek 6y ago
        Right, comparatively.

        No, it's pretty clear from the full context of the comment you are replying to that it is expressing a relative measure[1]: > Unsafe is not a problem in my experience. The same way a kernel might have some part written in asm (for freebsd it's like 1% I believe) your rust code will have 1% of Unsafe code. Might be more depending on what you are doing. However the same way few bugs happen in the asm code of a kernel, your unsafe will not have many bugs. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23510862 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23510862
