To be precise, the previous problem with Rust was because somebody copped out and used a temporary escape hatch function that absolutely has no place in production code.

It was mostly an amateur mistake. Not Rust's fault. Rust could never gain adoption if it didn't have a few escape hatches.

"Damned if they do, damned if they don't" kind of situation.

There are even lints for the usage of the `unwrap` and `expect` functions.

As the other sibling comment points out, the previous Cloudflare problem was an acute and extensive organizational failure.
