I don't think this is a good take. Go, Java, Rust, Python, Swift; they all basically eliminate the bug class we're talking about. The rest is ergonomics, which are subjective.
"Don't use Rust because it is GC'd" is a take that I think basically nobody working on memory safety (either as a platform concern or as a general software engineering concern) would agree with.
