Bah waking up today to notice a typo, after the edit window. "And both C++ and Rust inherit some ... aspects" was of course meant to be "And both C++ and Zig inherit some ... aspects".

>I think we can all agree that SQLite does not fit that description
One of the reasons WebSQL died was due to how many memory bug related vulnerabilities SQLite had.
Now C does have some aspects which make it more prone to crashes and memory bugs. The less strong statement of "using C results in a higher propensity for crashes/memory bugs than Rust" is absolutely true, I would argue. And both C++ and Rust inherit some (but not all, and not the same) of the aspects which make C prone to memory bugs. (So does Go, I would argue, but less than C++ and Zig.)
