"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?

Gonna guess, basically the same thing. Easy answers to hard questions instead of you having to think about them.

So, as far as they would be concerned, the only reason more people haven't chosen that path must be because they don't know how much easier it is, and how much less they have to think about stuff.

They can't see that building skill and knowledge has value beyond the extra effort.

At my last job I worked in a code base written in C and it needed to be certified to MISRA level A, and even in a language with as many foot guns as C, it's possible to write safe code. You just need to know what you're doing. I know there are tons of Rust zealots out there claiming it'll solve every last problem, but it turns out you just need to be careful.
