You’re right, but the state of play is even better than you suggest because there’s a lot of memory safe web servers outside of Rust too. Eg Go. And that’s not even counting all the webservers included as part of their backend frameworks in Python, node.js, Java, etc. web servers written in unsafe languages are really the minority but those that do exist are largely so heavily battle tested that a rewrite would likely introduce new sources of bugs (eg Apache and nginx). If there’s one domain that’s seen a lot of competition for security, it’s been web servers.
