> the fact that most Rust developers are of the belief that malloc failure is not recoverable
This is untrue. The true statement is similar, but has different implications -- malloc failure is usually not recoverable, and nonrecoverable malloc failure should be the default, for the problem space Rust targets (which encompasses more than low-level things). You can recover from malloc in Rust, it just requires some extra work.
