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?
> that only tries to show a single study is flawed, nothing else
no the study failed to show any difference in bug count for a specific set of common used languages, where C and Python were both part of the dataset.
I don't think programming languages have a big impact on bugs per line when every line is written by a human. Now given that I was talking about bug counts, not severity.
