> The "Rust is safe" is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety

Exactly. Some people act like we don't have the whole branch of "formal proofs" in CS. Memory safety is just once aspect of program safety.

Like, IMO, programs written in Coq, F* or even C programs verified by Frama-C are much more "safe" than Rust programs that advertise their "safety" on the mere fact that they are written in Rust.
