I often use "table saw" when making this sort of analogy, because there's even a more direct comparison: https://www.sawstop.com/

(As an aside, WOW! What a great invention! The folks who sent in pictures of their tiny cuts (instead of severed fingers) nearly made me cry.)

That's a brilliant metaphor to drive home the safety advantages of Rust! "It's a table saw that won't chop off your fingers!"

That's a "shut up and take my money" proposition. (And it helps that it's a really good table saw too.)

(As another aside, I got to the testimonial from an employer talking about the peace of mind of knowing the workers on the shop floor are safe and it "clicked" for me: you've got metrics and liability for job site safety so you can quantify that peace of mind. We still not there with software quality liability eh?)

Reminds me that unprofitable hotness electric car company whose core business is to manipulate both balance sheet and government.
