Type confusion bugs exist in Rust programs too, the language does not eliminate all such issues (though it does help somewhat). I think it would be more prudent to wait until we have details before getting on the soapbox.

He did middleware at RAD, home of a lot of good stuff, and worked directly on at least The Witness

Realizing I didn't quite answer your question about types of programs then and now. In the Q&A, they do discuss what types of (Fortran only) programs were measured in the study, and there is some speculation, but unfortunately the documentary record wasn't particularly solid.
