But code is not mathematics, so incorrect code is not worthless, it’s just worth less.

It’ll most likely still do 99% of the things people need it to do, there’ll be a an issue created for that broken 1%, and eventually it’ll be iterated upon and fixed.

Unless you’re working on a security boundary of course, there you should treat it like maths.

Rust doesn't check for logical errors, it checks for memory errors. So every single issue in an unsafe section is a potential CVE.
