Regarding your first point, I have never seen anyone on the Rust side of things claim that Rust can solve most correctness bugs. The attitude has always been to take things one step at a time, and to slowly strengthen the type system to make it expressive enough to write more statically enforceable constraints.

"Most" is a problematic word because it requires a baseline to compare against. When you're coming from something like Ruby, Rust most definitely solves "most" correctness bugs. When you come from Go, probably not.
