If you are trying to say that the programming language choice is 
irrelevant and replacing C/C++ with Rust or D won't improve 
anything, then I respectfully disagree.

Of course it's possible to implement buggy code in D or Rust. And 
correct code in C++. The other factors are surely important too 
and the programming language alone is not a panacea. Still the 
programming language choice affects the costs and risks.

Other than this, your comment didn't seem to contradict anything 
that I said. If you think that it did, then please be more 
specific.
