It's not "language safety", it's memory safety. You're saying that memory safety isn't a priority? When you run Coverity or other static analyzer on your code, how many violations do you find? How many were unexpected? The borrow checker is always being run - the difference is whether its in the compiler (Rust) or you in your head (C++). And I trust the compiler much more than I trust myself...
