The problem with c++ is that it allows people to do whatever they want. Turns out: people are dumb. Rust solved that problem. Nothing more, nothing less.

Rust still allows people to do (basically) whatever they want via unsafe blocks.

Yeah but I have written a lot of Rust and I have yet to use a single unsafe block.

Saying "but.. unsafe!" is like saying Python isn't memory safe because it has ctypes, or Go isn't memory safe because of its unsafe package.
