> In fact, the fact that the rust compiler adds runtime checks for array indexes if it can't prove the index is in bounds is a criticism some c programmers have of rust.

And the fact that after a half a century we're still debating how much we really need to care about U stuff like this when we get severe bugs in a major piece of software written in C seemingly every week is a criticism that pretty much all Rust programmers have of C.

Considering the amount of C programs that exist, the "we see severe bugs in C code seemingly every week" is on the same level of propaganda as we see "crime in the news every week" when the real societal problems are entirely different.
