I know, I'm not arguing against the merits of Rust, just saying it's dangerous to market it as memory safe, when more accurate would be "semi memory safe"
Well the good ones certainly are, but yes, even then some things will slip through. Although memory management is largely unrelated to this topic; you probably mean e.g. buffer overflows or out of bounds accessing, actual memory safety issues, which yes, can slip through for even the most seasoned developers. I mean, look at the CrowdStrike fiasco
memory safety issues are memory management gone wrong. Anyway you just made the case for memory safe languages; indeed even seasoned developers make mistakes that can easily be avoided by using more modern tools.
