> It’s probably the strongest point of my whining: Rust is memory safe and unreliable. The price of memory safety was reliability in addition to the developer’s sanity ­— that’s why I’m telling the language designers went overboard.

This complaint is nonsensical. If your Rust program panics, it’s because things are fucked up and it’s not possible to safely continue. The alternative is to continue unsafely, which will fuck things up even more.

The Linux kernel does the same thing. If it encounters an error, it panics.
