I would like to see a reevaluation of this take with respect to Rust. When we're talking about Rust's safety features, we usually focus on memory safety, because that has the biggest impact on security. But there are lots of memory safe languages, and I think it's actually Rust's thread safety features that are the most unique. (Lots of shared type system machinery between both sets of features.)
