Who cares. Classic "lying with statistics".

If you want to argue that Rust has fewer bugs because it has fewer lines of code, that may be true. But that's not the argument being made.

The argument is that Rust has fewer bugs per KLoc. Which given that C has had $deity knows how many years to get rid of bugs, is rather telling.

Especially if Rust's "fewer" bugs is ZERO bugs.
