Yeah, the anti-Rust crowd seems to just hate Rust and completely ignore all the empirical evidence that professional C++, even using all the TSAN, ASAN etc still has ~10-100x the memory safety issues of Rust without any of that. I think they think “oh - use after free and out of bounds are trivial to solve” and ignore the enormously meaningful order of magnitude harder thread safety. Not to mention that sanitizers are only effective at validating the code paths exercised within the test suite. Production manages to test all the things your test suite missed. The Rust compiler verifies stricter properties about your program proof being correct in all cases (within the bounds of its own correctness of course, but that’s higher than all other code combined).
