There's lots of Java development that deals with money movement that is suspect. All languages and frameworks are just tools. It depends on how you use them. Compilers are no guarantee for correctness if how you're modeling types is improper.

Well to me it's defence in depth.

I've used Ruby in a cryptocurrency project and I've used Rust. I know there are no guarantees but I wouldn't go back to ruby. There are just too many times when the compiler catches something I missed.
