Choose by yourself which seems safer

Certainly a compelling demonstration that Rust is much more popular than Ada.

So I guess the safety belt is also much more dangerous than not having it, as more people have accidents with seatbelts on? Similarly faulty logic.

Well I've never blown through the stack in Assembly.

Besides the obvious reasons this is an invalid comparison I found the Rust bugs returned by your search quite interesting. For some reason that term seems to disproportionally turn up very poor bug reports. It's mostly compiler crashes caused by weird issues on the reporter's machine. For example: "I cannot reproduce this on rust tarball sources outside our Yocto build environment." Edit: Part of the problem is your search term is `stack overflow` not `"stack overflow"`. Many of your results are issues where the reporter included a stack trace and someone mentioned the word "overflow".
