That's not a great take in practice. The main example in the article is Rust and while they concentrate on the memory safety, modern languages which provide it also provide other great features. If we stick with Rust, we also get fewer concurrency issues (language enforced), logic issues (algebraic data types help), encoding issues (richer APIs help), etc.

Try to find a specific vulnerability class which actually has a chance of getting more likely if you move from C to Rust.
