Why you should, actually, rewrite some of it in Rust

do you mind me providing a bit personal suggestion? When you've began resorting to play of words like 'barbed fences, trip-wire mines...' instead of providing concrete proof/examples in your post, you've already lost your argument.

Do you want me to provide one for you? Because that will definitely change your definition of 'humanly impossible' tasks and might also bring you back from realms of using comically bad phrases..

Ok, please let me ask you a question: have you read all the fragments of The ISO C++ Standard regarding undefined behavior? I have not, but I've read enough fragments/quotes to raise hair on my back and show me how many assumptions I had and assumed safe were subtly wrong. If you have not read all the fragments, you by definition don't know enough about UB to protect against it! Sorry.
