Unrelated but also in the category of bugs Rust won't catch (natively), there are crates that allow C++ style contracts, or more generally, dependent typing and can be used to catch issues at compile time rather than runtime. I use this one, anodized.
What do you think about the mental load and ergonomics this brings into the code? Also compilation time increase?
There is some compile time increase but it brings a lot more guarantees to the code. There was a recent post by a Rust maintainer that he wanted to bring Rust closer to a theorem prover so that as many things as possible can be caught during compile time over time time which might be more disastrous.
