i feel like ppl have magical beliefs about type systems. just because it's _probably_ (did it use unsafe?) memory-safe doesn't mean it does what you want it to do

That's obviously true. On the other hand its also true this is more likely to work because it is rust compared to python or js for example. And that's not only because of memory safety. It's because static typing gives an automatic proof of a certain level of correctness of the code. That correctness is correlated with correct business logic bugs. So it is valid argument to make.

Of course that doesn't mean that there are no businesses logic bugs.
