This is exactly the attitude that makes me very happy that the Rust compiler is so strict. The people who need the training wheels most are the same folks who think they don't.
I mean, I fix bugs. Rewriting half the program just to verify the bugs are fixed is overkill before opening a PR (you know, verifying the approach, validating assumptions, manual tests, the stuff you do long before actually fixing the bug, etc). But comments like these and others on this thread is exactly why I may not in the future. This is a rather toxic thread. People seem to treat this thing as a religious artifact without giving a single reason grounded in practical computer science and software engineering.

Please take your C style memory bugs with you.
