"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?

"So does skill" I agree 100%

However, we're human. You show me a skilled developer who never causes bugs, and I'll show you a liar.

No matter how skilled or experienced a developer is, they always have the capacity to introduce a bug by accident.

Whether it's a typo, or simply being tired or distracted, or just having one of those moments, or even one of those days. It's completely normal.

Coding is just communication, and when working on larger codebases it can be just as nuanced as interpersonal communication. People miscommunicate every second of the day.

I've never used Rust.
