Programmers cannot get threading right, but Rust can.

Rust won't magically make your threaded code blocks right. It can just provide you tools to ensure that memory won't leak. It's just 1/10 of the solution.

Rust does not ensure that your code is free of memory leaks, to be clear.

Rust solves threading-specific problems. Yes it's partial, but other problems happen in both threaded code and async code, so that's not a reason to choose one over another.
