Ref counting is deterministic. Rust memory management is also deterministic: the memory is freed exactly when the owner of the data gets out of scope (and the borrow checker guarantees at compile time there is no use after that).

The promiscuous package management, chiefly. Not unusual for building a imlle programme in Rust brings in 200+ crates, from unknown authors on the Internet...

What could possibly go wrong?
