Yeah, a ton of engineering hours went into making that happen.

Bias is a good keyword with respect to CVEs. As long as there is not much Rust code which is relevant to my daily life I think this is not comparable. And the few Rust packages which now ended up on my system, see no regular security support because they pose a maintenance burden, so actually make me less safe: https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues....
But the original claim was that "C code crashes all the time" which is blatantly wrong.
I also write C all the time, and it does not crash. There are certainly memory safety concerns with C, but there are also certainly many programmers that can write C code that does not crash all the time.
