I admit that I like C, but I would use it only sparingly (if at all) professionally at this point despite expert-level C experience and skill. However, that 70% figure is deeply saddening to someone coming at this from a C perspective - C is _dire_ in safety terms and I have personally found and fixed a large number of C bugs. The idea that it's _only_ 70% is pretty sad, because it means we are well and truly doomed.
I write this tongue in cheek, obviously. I've seen dire, dire security bugs in Java in particular but also in terms of fitting parts together (lo, broken ACLs, useless AWS SGs, inter-process assumptions that don't hold, injection vulnerabilities of myriad types, etc.). The truth is, we are doomed, and not just because of the 70%.
