Fun semi-random trivia fact: Upwork ran a TV ad mentioning Rust earlier this year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3yFOf6hIjQ> Wanna bet you can write applications that have security vulnerabilities in Rust and Go just the same?
While it's still early enough that this is an interesting bet, the data we do have shows that you'd be likely to lose that bet. Several of the largest tech companies on the planet have data showing that roughly 70% of security vulnerabilities are caused by memory unsafety. Both Rust and Go are significantly more memory safe than C and C++.
Nobody would claim that either language completely eliminates security issues, but that doesn't mean that they can't help mitigate many of them.
