Bordering the hypocritical... And I got the impression you missed his point as well.
Only if one can't separate a trivial factoid being used in an argument with the quality of the argument itself and the point being made...
You, know, you can agree that "there are no absolute guarantees" while still considering it a BS argument to use this fact to support that having the (non-absolute) guarantees Rust does give is in any way less useful...
You can also disagree that "there are no absolute guarantees", while true, has any place to be used in an argument against the use of safer compilers...
That's of: "There are no absolute guarantees against dying from a crash, and safety belts don't give you any, so let's not use safety belts either" quality
