I fully agree with the actually great thing being what not to have to look out for and my first thought when seeing the headline was: "Doesn't the type system handle most of that stuff?"

In other languages I get most of the benefits by sticking to functional programming practices and not mutating stuff all over the place. Rust's type system sort of encodes that, and maybe a little more, by making safe mutation a known non-interfering thing.
