Rust's language constructs can often help you write safe wrappers around inter-process communication and synchronization mechanisms. Of course, all bets are off if the other processes don't adhere to the agreed-upon IPC protocol, but that's not the point. The point is that Rust makes it easier to not accidentally screw up the protocol yourself.

That is indeed the point, as most projects don't use a single language in isolation.

  So now you're arguing that Rust won't help because it doesn't fix the deficiencies of other languages? So what? At least you'll have fewer defects in those parts that do use Rust.
