> If people really cared about that above all else they would use a memory-safe language, which Rust is not, such as Java or Python or Haskell or something.

people already use languages like java or python or js in most cases! it's only in rare cases it made sense to write stuff in c or c++. now with rust, that niche becomes even smaller.

> Governments aren't "bugging" anyone about memory safety

idk this report sounds like bugging from governments (plural) to me: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-12/The-Case-fo...

no one who isn't being obtuse would say rust isn't memory safe. the linked report also deems rust a memory safe language.
