> I'm not saying that C is safe, but it is clear from the statistics that the danger is very very highly overrated. There is a much greater danger in rewriting battle-tested systems just for the sake of rewriting. From 80->90->00->10->20s reading and writing C seems less and less magical, including for exploit writers. In 10 years exploits might even be written willy-nilly by an LLM. One of the reasons why writing safe and secure code requires thinking few steps into the future.
