I'm not, because while operating a fleet of systems, you assume some of the parts are so reliable that you don't look into them when problems arise.

These kinds of bugs might not bug end users much, but when it becomes a fleet-wide problem, it becomes crippling.

I'm debugging a problem on a platform since this morning. At the end of the day it turned out to be the platform is sending things to somewhere it's explicitly told not to.

Result? Everything froze, without any errors. System management is hard to begin with. It becomes really hard when the tools you think you can depend breaks.

Also, consider what would be the uproar if the programming language was something else than Rust. The developers would be crucified, burned with flamethrowers, reincarnated, and tortured again until they fed-up and leave computers and start raising chicken at an off-grid location.
