I don't think that's true. Sure, there are zealots who oversell things, but reasonable people (including those who are actual leaders in the Rust community) are realistic about the classes of bugs that Rust eliminates, as well as those Rust doesn't help with.

Rust is interesting in that if you really thought it was magical safety across all bugs, you're probably not smart enough to compile a real application, let alone actually have read enough documentation to do more than a hello world.
