But you have to admit Rust zealots are misguided, too, who does not happen to know or realize the obviousness of what you just said with regarding to Rust.
How is it a strawman? Many people have misconceptions with regarding to Rust, while not even knowing about the existence of Ada/SPARK to begin with. They blindly spout "Rust is saFeEe!44!". If you are not a zealot, then it is not applied to you.
I see about 1000x more anti-rust-zealot strawman arguments than rust zealots on this site. Can you give some examples of the misguided rust zealotry you’re talking about?
