Yes. The somewhat nice property of rust having guaranteed memory safety has been blown out of proportion so much that even though C++ with smart pointers and a bit of bounds checking is quite likely not to have memory safety issues, the comunity has decided that anything less than a guarantee means the language is unfit for any purpose and no new projects should ever be started in it. As if Java/JS/C# don't have null reference exceptions occurring all the time and to me those seem quite similar to segfaults. But I guess people are only specifically alergic to memory unsafety.
