Do you realize how many security issues exist in applications written in memory-safe Java/PHP/JS/Python ? Memory corruption is but the tip of the iceberg.



You are right that there are software bugs that aren't memory bugs.

Now as GP was saying, Rust inherently mitigates a great deal of generally serious software vulnerabilities, which is great, even if it doesn't mitigate anything else.


Memory corruption is literally 2/3 of the iceberg. Look it up.
