I think when people say safest they mean the safest "C like" language with zero cost abstractions.

I am not convinced about that. I think that many people discovered the notion of "memory safety" with Rust, and think that only Rust provides it. The grandparent is right: Rust brings memory safety at low cost, that's the whole point.

Yeah but the author went from typescript to rust… what did they expect.

Then irony is that typescript (well, Javascript) has full memory safety. The changes of segfaults only increased when he switched to rust.
