Not really, that’s just my impression reading stuff about unsafe rust, and programming C++.

Rust compiler depends on LLVM written in C++, kernels for all mainstream OSes are written in C.
The probability of bugs in my code I just written is orders of magnitude higher than probability of bugs in these third-party systems.
