Yeah that stood out to me too. I guess the problem is that only a small percentage of developers both understand the need for memory safety and are vocal about it. That is very different from the number of users who would benefit from better memory safety. When someone encounters a crash, their actionable item isn’t to go ask the C++ committee for better safety. That’s an unassailable wall for most developers, assuming they even understand what’s happening and that there are better options out there.
