I strongly disagree with the idea that Rust makes it easier to hide logic bugs. Rust is a much more complicated system than C but allows software engineers to work at a much higher level of abstraction which generally reduces logic bugs. Of course, new projects will inherently have bugs but with Rust it is easier to achieve a higher level of rigor.

To be clear, this is not due to the borrow checker at all, Rust does not have the tooling to statically determine the absence of logic bugs. What it has is the necessary programming language features to manage much more complex systems through abstraction and modeling.
