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.

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.
