I'm 20 minutes in and he's spending a lot of time talking about how Rust gets correctness right.

Are there any anecdotal stories about how Rust programs have fewer errors?

Facebook, for example, rewrote Messenger with ReasonML:

https://reasonml.github.io/blog/2017/09/08/messenger-50-reas...

And it had a lot fewer bugs:

"Messenger used to receive bugs reports on a daily basis; since the introduction of Reason, there have been a total of 10 bugs (that's during the whole year, not per week)! *"
