There are of course security flaws, we're humans after all. Unless the compiler and the language can be proven mathematically correct at least.

But as described above, in practice the security flaws are easier to isolate in Rust compared to C# IME. The current story of security flaws in Rust is quite good so far.

That means nothing without knowing who said it. I find it hard to believe it's anymore secure the C# without security research saying so. It's a very complex language from what I understand with a lot of moving parts. It's also dependant on external frameworks in a way that C# just isn't. If you have a problem with .net there is a company behind it who is responsible. Who is responsible for actix web or seaorm?
