"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?

This is the same kind of argument that you shouldn't have to wear seat belts because just don't crash, duh.

Why do we have traffic lights?? Just don't hit each other, duh.

You shouldn't need emergency shutoffs at gas stations, don't have a fire stupid!

Hand rails on stairs? C'mon, just don't trip.

Confirmarion dialog on deleting data? Well, just don't click the wrong thing 🤦

It's beyond obtuse

And completely missed the entire problem of human error. Which is one of the only constants we can always rely upon in every situation in every industry everywhere.

Being ignorant of something this pervasive and uniform across all humanity is not an excuse.
