You most definitely know a lot more about code than me. So I&#x27;m not challenging you at all. But my contention is that robustness is a function of resilience. C has a class of errors which are hard to spot for foot-soldiers, and sometimes even generals which can leave deadly chinks unspotted for long. If Rust attempts to do away with those specific type of errors altogether, what&#x27;s wrong with that? Rewriting code. 
And if that seems like a challenge worth attempting for some people, I can&#x27;t fault it. And in the process maybe we will discover more bugs, or maybe something better. Its evolution, no?
