Well stack traces are just a gdb session away, no changes to code/binary needed. No?

  But most crashes can be turned into an exploit.

    I was just responding to the stack traces bit, no argument about the exploit potential.

  Not all crashes in C or C++ can give you a meaningful stack trace. Lots of time there is heap corruption, or stack corruption. Safe Rust has the same properties as a managed language, one is going to spend an order of magnitude less time hunting for bugs.

    Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

      I should have elaborated in my original comment. Next time!

  Panics are usually at or close to the root of the bug. Segfaults can be anywhere later in the program
