Going on your original example "I heard rust was better than python because its safe", this would be a case where you ask: "What did the person who told you this say was safer in rust than in python?" If they don't know anything specific, then it's pretty safe to say "Well, there are some differences in the languages, and you might choose one over the other for performance or ecosystem reasons, but they're both pretty safe overall. You probably don't need to worry too much about it, TBH."
