I think the difference is here:

- If a compiled C++ program has unsound behavior, the program needs to be fixed

- If a compiled safe Rust program has unsound behavior, the compiler needs to be fixed

> You can be annoyed by Rust fanboys, sure, but the more annoying are the Rust haters, because the hate always comes from a place of ignorance.

For what it's worth, Rust fanboys also seem just as vulnerable to their ignorance of C/C++ compiler extensions and tooling (e.g. sanitizers, bounds annotations, standard library hardening modes and so on.) which are just normal part of professional C/C++ use today.
