Those have tons of exploitable bugs!!
NASA rovers and car ECUs have minimal people looking to exploit them, so I'm not overly convinced they're exploit free either.
I'm not a Rust evangelist or even a user, but the current paradigm of "THIS TIME, we'll write safe, complex, performant C/C++ code properly" isn't the solution, nor is manually squashing bugs one by one.
The solution seems to be a combination of improving the tooling around existing C\C++, and starting new projects in safer languages when possible.
