>Because sometimes I see people online who compare the number of CVEs in Rust and C/C++ software, [...]

a rule of thumb i follow is that the second someone starts comparing or talking about the number of CVEs, i just ignore whatever they say next. its hard to think of a more useless metric than "number of CVEs", especially now.

(edit: the people disagreeing are encouraged to share how you use "number of CVEs" to inform your decision making)

Oh no, you're in for a surprise.

"Especially now" all these infosec folks "need to get CVEs fixed because compliance/SOC2, etc" and they will be even more up your a*!

Something has to change with how compliance works. It is so outdated and crazy.

> Others think someone from the Rust (programming language, not video game) development community was responsible due to how critical René has been of that project, but *those claims are entirely unsubstantiated*

huh

> The guy that tried to SWAT me was extremely enthused about Rust: never shut up about it.

hm. the guy was also ostensibly a male. should we ban all men from HN? maybe they should be fired and shunned and cast out of society.
