I'm not part of the Rust "community" and don't participate in any of its fora, I just like a lot of the ideas it's pushing forward (see sibling comment). "unsafe" doesn't dIsAbLe AlL pRoTeCtIoNs like the anti-Rust crowd likes to say. I've written a few small (5,000+ LOC) programs in Rust over the last five years or so and I've only personally had to dip into unsafe once in my own code. I didn't claim that Rust prevents all bugs, I pointed out that Rust programs are more stable in the case of _runtime type errors and data races_ (which they are).
