The ratio of memory bugs to other bugs at work is basically zero. The problems that are holding our product back have nothing to do with memory safety. Of the long list of problems we need to solve, that just isn't one of them. If the only thing a new language offered over c++ was that I don't have to think about that 0.01% of bugs anymore, but in exchange I get either a garbage collector or a borrow checker to fight with, I would not switch.
