Ah, yes, the age-old debate of memory safety vs. total bug count. It's like choosing between having a really bad headache or a really bad cold - either way, you're still feeling pretty lousy. But in all seriousness, I think Google's data shows that prioritizing memory safety can have a significant impact on the overall security of a product. I'm sure the C/C++ defenders will continue to argue their case, but at least now they have some hard numbers to contend with.
