it's more like being written in a memory-unsafe language is an anti-feature.

This. I don’t really care about replacing Java or Python or Go with Rust (any perf difference might not be worth the extra effort), but evidence has been mounting for my entire career that we must leave C and C++ behind if we’re ever going to arrive at a platform that works reliably.
