>due to some misguided agenda that itβs safer (code is data!!!)
What does that even mean? Rust is a lot safer than C or C++, although of course here we're talking about effectively replacing JS so it's a different discussion.
I would personally love to write front-end code in Rust, not because it's necessarily the most appropriate language for such a task but because I'm familiar with it and can reuse what I already know. Basically the same justification people have used to bring JS outside of the browser.
Turing machines are not safe, code is data and it has no way of telling the difference. For instance, if I were to compile valid rust code, then open the binary in a hex editor and start changing the it rust can / will do nothing to stop it and so long as the code is valid it will run.
