>I think he may just be surprised that those bugs still occurred, given how the Rust toolchain is itself implemented in Rust, by the designers of Rust, and how Rust is supposedly designed in a way that prevents bugs to a larger extent than other languages do.
Well, then what he probably doesn't understand is that those bugs are not in their majority memory bugs or sound-ness bugs or bugs in the things Rust is supposed to protect you from.
Most are issues related to half or mis-implemented features, syntax that changed and libs that need to change in accordance, etc. If I have:
random() { return 6;}
as a stub, I could post an issue to remind me to implement a actual random number generator later. Doesn't mean the language has some inherent problem itself.
