That's really great that you are quoting a generalized stat, but we are taking about browsers here, which are inherently runtimes allowing anyone to run anycode

That's really great that you are quoting a generalized stat, but we are taking about browsers here, which are inherently runtimes allowing anyone to run anycode they want. Just saying 'c++ bad' isn't really a serious analysis...

Are you suggesting that decreasing surface area is not worth it?

  I am saying that 'crossing someone out' just because they decided not to opt into the tradeoff to decrease that surface is overreacting.

  If you think it's worth it, feel free to go and do it. But that's not a reason to astroturf for Rust on a thread about Ladybird.

Saying that super complex C++ code bases are less exposed to memory safety issues is what is not a serious argument. Have a nice day. Edit: here's a report from the Chromium team, if that makes you feel any better. It reports similar figures. https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/memory-safety/ https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/memory-safet...
