Kind of unfair if that's your concern since rust has segfault issues as well.

Only with unsafe Rust , and the ecosystem is generally very good about keeping unsafe code tightly scoped and correct.

Does it? I've never seen safe Rust segfault.

The segfault can happen in safe rust, it just can't be caused by it. Segfaults don't happen immediately
