Psssst, saying that memory safety "fixes up to 70% of bugs" is almost certainly wrong.
Or, more precisely, contextual
When those same developers who wrote that same code start writing under the same conditions in a memory safe language, do you think that number—which is already highly contextualized—will hold?
Will the culture of correctness follow into the system?
Will people lean on the memory safety and treat it as protecting them in areas it won't?
