First, I've generalized to memory-safe languages, not necessarily Rust. Second, this is exactly the overconfidence that I find troubling. Vulnerabilities caused by memory unsafety are real, pervasive, and inevitable. A few resources you should look at: - the official reports/post by Mozilla and Microsoft about the percentage of vulnerabilities caused by memory unsafety - the mailing lists with the Linux kernel issues (I don't imply any severity; just the amount) There are many summarized posts for the lazier, and I'm talking about high profile authors (or authors writing on behalf of high profile companies).
