which mostly gloss over the fact that there are other classes of bugs that it doesn't prevent

That's nothing more than a technically-dressed version of whataboutism, isn't it? Or can you show other languages that do prevent those other unnamed classes of bugs?

Er... no. I was simply saying that the many articles about how reliable Rust is and how many bugs it catches for you might lead to a false sense of safety. Nothing more, nothing less.

What's the use of standing on that anti-static mat and wearing that grounding strap? Can't you see there are fork lifts zipping around just right in the next room? That mat is giving you a false sense of security!
