memory related vulnerabilities tend to be the worst kind though, like RCEs and stuff. Remote code execution is so much worse than many other types of vulnerabilities like DOS. How many RCEs have there been in rust programs compared with C++? I bet C++ has far more than 70% more RCE frequency than rust.

- lionkor 3y agothe worst kind? probably not. The worst kind is the vulerability that is a logic error, which no language catches for you, which can leave unskilled attackers accidentally breavhing your whole system. RCE takes effort usually, exploiting a logic error not so much. For example, rust happily lets you access a database before checking that the user's auth token is valid - absolutely nothing prevents you from that.
