[unbendable]

No I never claimed Rust is type safe. I don't know enough about it to make such a claim. I just read some articles and blog post and i really liked some concepts of it.

So I think some people are forgetting that I work and talk only about embedded development C/C++.

Generally what i mean with you can't trust the data is that memory can get corrupted in embedded very easily. There are some mechanisms to prevent it (MPU for example). The other thing that I see often is the usage of opaque pointer by vendors. That is not necessarily a problem with C++ but you will have to use it and deal with it.

But yeah you re right about modern C++ features being more type safe. I would love to use them but the problem is many of those std features are not usable in embedded or are not worth the cost.
