As I said, if it compiles it means that there should be no bugs other than logic bugs. No null pointer exceptions because there is no `null` in Rust, for instance. No passing a wrong pointer type because doing something like `void *` in Rust only works with unsafe code. Same with mutable pointers, which only work with unsafe code. No concurrency bugs due to shared memory because passing data between threads is not possible without specialized data types.
Basically, if you've programmed in unsafe languages such as C, C++, Assembly or any language that has `null`, you know what Rust brings to the table. The Rust compiler does prevent very large classes of bugs all the while being non garbage collected. That's quite a feat!
And I'm far from being a Rust fanboy. I work with PHP, Javascript and devops tools in my day job. I'm not doing PR here. Just sharing my experience. Feel free to share yours.
