I think that argument makes sense in a vacuum. Like considering nothing else, yes, 100%, rusts compiler prevents more bugs then c++ would. I don't think bugs are the only way to waste time or break things. In a large company or complex project your never talking about one small code base. There are inter-dependencies within code and outside code. Rewriting all of anything significant is a huge undertaking. In reality your introducing a new language in addition to cpp/java/go. Its another support task. Its another thing to context switch between when your working on "the legacy" repo and the new stuff. You need to be skilled in both languages. Its like any team that starts writing automation and support projects in python, when their main language is something else. You get trash python scripts and programs. Its another language where technically the domain is right, but the skill is lacking.
