It is impossible to interpret this number (271) without looking into details. People certainly found plenty of memory safety and others bugs in Rust projects in the past, so I do not understand you claim that there too few to find any.

Curl reported 40% and more recently it dropped to about 20% of issues caused by their use of C. And this even with the requirement to stick to old C89. OpenBSD reported 30%. I assume the 70% either have to do with C++ or - more likely - there is a huge selection bias.

Daniel admits that he "might" just be counting differently.

I expect some of it is C++ because there sure is plenty of additional complexity to fit in the same size brain and yet you retain the same absolute requirement to juggle everything at all times or the software blows up but I'd be very surprised if it accounted for this huge disparity.

Well, I would say google "might" be counting differently or have huge bias.
