different kind of programming languages change the kinds of bugs and their properties, but it does not change the amount of bugs per line of code. in respect to C and rust for example, rust may have less memory bugs - which LLMs seems to be able to spot now - but it did increase supply chain attacks for example.

You are really uninformed: different programming languages have very different volumes of bugs per line of code
With all the respect but I don't think I am: https://arxiv.org/html/1901.10220v2
that only tries to show a single study is flawed, nothing else
do you think bugs/loc is the same between brainfuck and rust?
