I’m sure some people could tiptoe through minefields daily for years, until they fail. Nobody is perfect at real or metaphorical minefields, and hubris is probably the only reason to scoff at people suggesting alternatives.

Just FYI rust projects have CVEs as well.

  Of course. My sense is there are a lot fewer in of out-of-bounds accesses and use after frees. Maybe a world-class programmer can go several decades without writing a memory error in C/C++, but they will probably eventually falter, meanwhile the other 99.9% of programmers fail more often. Why would you decline a compiler’s help eliminating certain types of bugs almost entirely?
