It may be true that this holds for issues related with out-of-bounds accesses or temporal safety errors, but nothing eludes your application to contain logic bugs. In fact, whenever the application is big enough and you spot a logic error, the debugging burden is still there. Good part is that the debugging utilities for C/C++ are still helpful for Rust programs.

Usually, understanding the type system changes you code/thinking about business logic too. That stems from the habit of thinking about how to check your expected behaviour before implementing it.

Needing a debugger still happens once in a while, but languages/projects that are well adapted to this way of thinking really make it extremely uncommon.
