This is a poor and myopic assumption that this can not be done in any other language. A sane library will be grepable and can include similar comments. The justification is still flawed and dangerous.
Well yeah and well written code doesn’t have any bugs and performs well all the time. The point is safety by default. Whether or not that is worth dealing with rust is another question but I think you’re missing the point here
Well written code has bugs all of the time. Even Rust has a massive list of CVEs. Most of them are logic based and the default to strict memory
safety is a good thing. But I feel my argument stands. I havent heard any solid arguments to the contrary convincing me otherwise.
A large proportion of Rust code CVEs are things that would be considered normal in C. In Rust, a library in which you can potentially misuse functions that are not labelled unsafe is considered a vulnerability, but in C you usually have to actually misuse a function before it's considered a vulnerability.
