    Improbable. Everything has bugs that surface. See my other link, or look yourself. There have been plenty of security fixes for Rust. It’s not bulletproof, just like anything else, just less likely specifically for certain memory attacks to be vectors.

      Everything has bugs that surface.

      This is a worthless statement. Rust is designed to help reduce the number of bugs. No one thinks Rust will completely eliminate all bugs. Your argument about fixes in the compiler or standard library or whatever applies to C as well.

      See my other link, or look yourself.

      The link you posted says nothing about Rust software having bugs, it’s about malware written in Rust exploiting bugs in other software.
