I get what you are saying. What strikes me as different in the other frontpages are: the claims are made in terms vague enough to be unassailable.

- tatterdemalion 10y agoYou seem to be saying that because Rust is able to provide stronger guarantees, it should make weaker claims on its main page. But just because some of Rust's benefits are verifiable, unlike those of some other languages, doesn't mean the constraints on them need to be enumerated every time they're expressed. This is not "lying." By the same token, you should be requiring that every subjective statement on the other langs' pages have the caveat "in the opinion of the $LANG developers." Obviously no one would wear that.
- Manishearth 10y ago"thread safety" and "memory safety" are vague terms. "thread safety" is clarified there. "memory safety" has a particular meaning in that context which is true for Rust.
