This is just so obtuse. Be serious.

Even if you somehow manage to ignore the very obvious theoretical argument why it works, the amount of quantitative evidence at this point is staggering: Rust, including unsafe warts and all, substantially improve the ability of any competent team to deliver working software. By a huge margin.

This is the programming equivalent of vaccine denialism.

There is a lot of science showing vaccines work. For Rust showing that it is better this is still lacking. And no Google's blog posts are not science.
So kernel devs claiming Rust works isn't good enough? CloudFlare? Mozilla? Your're raising the bar to a place where no software will be good enough for you.
