Programming is inherently unsafe. Rust only solves a fraction of memory safety, and there are more unsafe things beyond memory concerns. It’s a complete misnomer.

“Safety, in Rust, is very well-defined; we think about it a lot.”

You can’t just construct some elaborate static analysis complex and call your language “safe” as a result, that’s a surefire way to make your language impenetrable to anyone outside of your field of expertise.
