> It's possible for a Rust program to be technically compilable but still semantically wrong.
This was my biggest problem when I used to write Rust. The article has a small example but when you start working on large codebases these problems pop up more frequently.
Everyone says the Rust compiler will save you from bugs like this but as the article shows you can compile bugs into your codebase and when you finally get an unrelated error you have to debug all the bugs in your code. Even the ones that were working previously.
> Rust does not know more about the semantics of your program than you do
Also this. Some people absolutely refuse to believe it though.
