> Safety. Yes, Rust is more safe. I don’t really care. In light of all of these problems, I’ll take my segfaults and buffer overflows. I especially refuse to “rewrite it in Rust” - because no matter what, rewriting an entire program from scratch is always going to introduce more bugs than maintaining the C program ever would.

And that is why we can't have nice things.

"I don't really care" if someone overflows my buffer to execute code...

And: "going to introduce more bugs" - false. Empirically complete bollocks...
