I've coded in C / C++ / Java / Python / JS and anything else needed to get the job done.
I have never heard any group of devs so quickly dismiss security concerns about their ecosystem as rapidly as Rust devs.
YES the language IS type safe and that's a big value add.
But that value add can quickly be cancelled out without significant attention to detail.
The EXACT same attention to detail I code with in C / C++ / Java / Python / JS etc.
This time, is not different.
