What I mean is that even if you use GC languages like Java or Go you will still encounter annoying bugs. I’m not saying that memory safety isn’t important.
You said bugs caused by 'memory problems'. And that Rust programmers vastly overestimate them. Those aren't generic logical bugs that you get in Go or Java. And Rust never claimed to solve logical bugs.
I’m more poking fun at Rust enthusiasts who make it seem like programs are automatically bug free just because they’re written in Rust.
Haskell enthusiasts made similar claims as well.
