    Everything has bugs that surface.

    This is a worthless statement. Rust is designed to help reduce the number of bugs. No one thinks Rust will completely eliminate all bugs. Your argument about fixes in the compiler or standard library or whatever applies to C as well.

    See my other link, or look yourself.

    The link you posted says nothing about Rust software having bugs, it’s about malware written in Rust exploiting bugs in other software.
