A really common thing in the Rust ecosystem is to write APIs that are impossible or at least hard to misuse. That cultural aspect plus the ownership system does help reduce those kind of problems. I've seen crates where there are "mistakes" in the API, lending a mutable borrow instead of returning an owned value, for example, that make them less useful than they could be otherwise, but I've seen fewer cases of bug prone APIs.
