Everyone understands Rust doesn't offer such guarantees.

Even more now after this outage.

But it's a fact that "if it compiles it runs" is often associated with Rust, in HN at least. A quick Algolia search tells me that.





I have definitely noticed this when I've tried doing Advent of Code in Rust - by the time my code compiles it typically send out the right answer. It doesn't help me once I don't know whatever algorithm I need to reach for in order to solve it before the heat death of the universe, but it is a somewhat magical feeling when it lasts.
