- atherton94027 9mo agoYeah I mean I could also say "there are no CVEs written in PERL in the kernel ergo PERL is safer to write than Rust". Given there's close to zero .pl files in the kernel, I think we can all agree my assertion holds

- jason_oster 9mo agoThat claim relies on an absurd "in the kernel" qualifier, making it difficult to agree with. Furthermore, your hypothesis is that "we all" agree with claims that rely on absurd conditions as a matter of course.
- staticassertion 9mo agoI'm perfectly happy to say that it's not a very good way to make a comparison.
