Not a Rust programmer.

It seems like there is a big difference between a "mathematical certainty that certain bugs will not occur" if you play by the rules and just be a better programmer so that you don't write errors. Not that you won't have bugs in Rust but it seems like we should move towards having our tooling do more of the heavy lifting in ensuring correctness. I don't believe you will ever have the bug count drop to zero. I do believe in mathematical certainties though.
