I have used Rust extensively and have no idea whatsoever is that's true, and if you think you do, be prepared to be wrong about that, as humans are incredibly "good" at being sure that something is true until formal studies show you were wrong.
Haskellers have said "if it compiles it works" for a long time, but have never been able to prove that. Again: just saying/feeling something is true doesn't make it true.

No, there's just no evidence! Just go to any Rust project, they have as many bugs as anything else... I wish that were false, because then I would definitely just use Rust for everything myself... but that's not at all what I've seen so far.
- kreetx 3y agoAs having written a lot of Haskell, I can tell you that people do create bugs there as well, (IMO) to a similar degree as in other languages. The choice of languages seems to come down to personal preference, as does the propensity to create bugs (come down to the specific developer). ;)
- brabel 3y ago100%. Every single study always agrees on that: developer skills completely shadow any differences between programming languages - even between categories of programming languages, like dynamic VS static typed-languages.
