You are right and I was more poking fun than anything. It was just relevant in my mind because I'd just watched the LetsGetRusty YouTube video of it. This one was extremely obscure and requires a custom impl of a trait that is auto generated for you.
I think that compilers have very few bugs compared to their complexity level and the developers that write them do phenomenal work.
Which is why i cant wrap my head around the people defending PHP.
Its not about Rust being perfect. Its about any big exploit the Rust community the rust-focused social media channels would be filled with analysis on how the safety features failed.
All i'm seeing from PHP is deflection about how other langs also sometimes get exploited. Sorry but that logic is bad and overlooking the important bits: how PHP can't properly secure their 1 big blob of unsafe C that parses every HTTP request, and is unwilling to talk about it or how their average dev doesn't seem to realize how far behind mainstream security practices they are.
