Yes, but the point was that rewriting something in Rust is not sufficient per se to prevent such bugs.
replyThe goal claimed by all these rewrites is the elimination of bugs.
The "elimination of bugs" is not synonymous with "the elimination of all bugs". The way you're presenting it, any single bug in a rewrite would be grounds to consider the the entire endeavor a failure, which is a ridiculous standard.
replyThere are plenty of strong arguments to be made against rewriting something in Rust, but this is a pretty weak one.
