Would you find it equally worrying if stack-based languages claimed they improved over x86 because you needn't worry about clobbering values in registers? I guess it depends on how well you know the code and its context. Might still be logic bugs. And man, functional languages. It's pretty much 100% logic bugs there. I worry most about those sort of programs.

If you only have 100% logic bugs in your code, I'd say the code is in damn good shape. That means all your bugs are "meaningful". Different programming platforms have different "incidental complexity" causing bugs not related to actual program logic, but merely how it is put together, so to speak. In particular, Rust seems objectively better than C++ in this regard.
