This idea that if Rust doesn't have all those memory safety bugs it must somehow have loads of other bugs we haven't discovered reminds me of Americans insisting that countries which don't have their lousy gun safety problems must have the same effects by some other means they haven't detected - Like, OK England doesn't have lots of gun murders like America, but surely loads of English people are just dropping dead because someone threw a yoghurt at them, or used harsh language, and we just missed them off our statistics ?

No man, it is possible to just do better, and this is an example of just doing better. The Rust is just better software. We can and should learn from this sort of thing, not insist that better is impossible and the evidence suggesting otherwise must be a mirage.
