But yes, my point was that there are a lot of enthusiastic articles about how Rust can prevent "whole classes of bugs", which mostly gloss over the fact that there are other classes of bugs that it doesn't prevent. Of course this doesn't mislead experienced developers, but I'm not so sure about novices or less technically inclined people.
Are you disappointed that Rust evangelists don’t spend time talking about the fact that bugs can exist in Rust programs? Did you see the two articles posted in the last week alone about bugs that were found in Rust code? They reached the front page of HN

If you want to see criticism of Rust, I’ve found that the most informed criticism comes from people who use Rust a lot. Example - https://matklad.github.io/2020/09/20/why-not-rust.html
That's nothing more than a technically-dressed version of whataboutism, isn't it? Or can you show other languages that do prevent those other unnamed classes of bugs?
