Rust pretty much alleviates these dangers. At least no memory safety bugs because of multithreading. Logic bugs are still possible, of course, but the channel API and the scoped thread API in the standard library do help with those.

That is not true at all, "fearless concurrency" gives no valuable guarantees at all and is widely seen as one of the worst concurrency models in literature.

I don't dispute that, but I thought you were having C++ with threads as the starting point, in which case Rust very much gives you valuable guarantees.
