I find it interesting how people will criticise Rust for not preventing all bugs, when the alternative languages don't prevent those same bugs nor the bugs rust does catch. If you're comparing Rust to a perfect language that doesn't exist, you should probably also compare your alternative to that perfect language as well right?
I'd be interested in a comparison with the amount of bugs and CVE's in GNU coreutils at the start of its lifetime, and compare it with this rewrite. Same with the number of memory bugs that are impossible in (safe) Rust.

Don't just downvote me, tell me how I'm wrong.
