Agreed, but per my original post, the additional safety that Rust affords protects against a very small share of bugs in SaaS applications. The value proposition isn’t good because you trade so much productivity for a small improvement in quality, and productivity is at a premium and quality (sadly) can be mitigated in other, less costly ways (e.g., progressively rolling out new changes, continuous deployment i.e., bugs can be patched in hours rather than months, etc).
