You didn’t even read the rust article. The python problems article aren’t specifically memory violations, my point was that rust claims to be “safe” and yet all those vulnerabilities were memory safety violations. Those wouldn’t be possible in python.
I would argue your the one falling into that fallacy. You decided because Python calls C, its unsafe and so is Rust.
My issue is not with that really, but the odd double standard. Comparing calling C code to being able to directly write to memory is just odd. It’s not at all the same in practice.
It’s like memory safety is black and white when you compare rust and C, but than all grey when it’s rust and anything else. Marking things “unsafe” in rust doesn’t magically make it better, and unsafe rust code is far more common than memory violations in GC languages.
But it’s clear you have decided you are much smarter, I don’t see the point in continuing this discussion.
