> If the demonstrated complacency of Rust coders toward potential bugs
lol what?
This is so very the opposite of my 6+ years of experience in Rust, where the community has a serious focus on testing, and great tooling support for it as well.
I honestly can't take anyone seriously who thinks that adding Rust to the kernel will increase security bugs. I just can't imagine they know anything about Rust, security, or the kernel.
I judge based on the tide of opinion that washes up, everywhere Rust is even mentioned, that bugs in Rust code are physically impossible. That is the whole value proposition of the language, as presented. Anyone hinting that bugs are still possible in Rust gets downvoted to oblivion (as here).
I do not doubt that there are Rust coders who are especially vigilant about introducing bugs, but they certainly are, as in all times and places, the exception.
> that bugs in Rust code are physically impossible
This isn't a real thing either. I see it asserted all the time on HN and it's hilarious.

90% of the time it's because the person is making a stupid point. 10% of the time it's the community being annoying.
So just to reiterate, you're basing this on being barely an observer on forums, and I'm basing this on multiple years of professional rust development.
