> How can one possibly square those two pieces of data to point at rust somehow fixing the "memory safety vulns"? Somehow an increase in C++ code led to a decrease in the amount of both "New Memory Unsafe Code" and "Memory safety Vulns".

The first graph considers <memory unsafe> vs <memory safe> languages, while the second graph considers C++ vs Rust. There's more languages than just those two in the first graph.

Moreover the first graph is in percentage terms, while the second graph is in absolute terms.

In 2022 it appears a bunch of memory safe non-rust code was added. Java/python/...

> Also "this approach isn’t just fixing things, but helping us move faster." is an AI red flag.

That's a perfectly human phrasing lol.
