Working software doesn’t always have to be correct or safe. This is highly use case dependent. Rust’s guarantees aren’t free, it comes with a handful of tradeoffs, such as learning curve, implementation speed, (this one is personally annoying) compilation speed, and portability. I’m a huge proponent of using the right language for the job. Sometimes rust is the obvious choice, sometimes it’s Python, Go, Lua, Java, Prolog, C, brainfuck etc.

I feel like I am missing some very obvious point of yours because that statement in isolation I cannot agree with (I've read the rest of your comment and still can't find the extra context). Can you clarify?
