Part of what makes Rust awesome is it forces correct ownership and architecture.

  > Part of what makes Rust awesome is it forces correct...architecture. If you believe that, and follow it, then you will end up with a lousy architecture. A correct architecture cannot be designed without knowledge of the problem domain. That's the problem with security too: if you believe the language will keep you safe, and stop thinking about security, your software will be less secure than before. There's plenty of insecure Java code out there.

    I think the parent is talking about architecture around memory, not the entire program design. > if you believe the language will keep you safe safer != safe.

And if you use "it won't be perfectly secure under X mitigation strategy" as an excuse to avoid doing X, your software will also be less secure.
