There are plenty of other bugs causing CVEs, but there are certainly a lot caused by memory issues. I personally believe that C needs a safe mode, but also with existing tools (static analysis, sanitizers, etc.) one can improve things a lot. It is a bit unfair to compare billions of lines of old C code to newly written code in other languages. It would be interesting to compare modern C with modern tools to other languages. And, of course, all those billions of lines of old C code will continue to exist even if some people start to use other languages. So I think we need to improve C instead of abandoning it.
