"Turnabout is fair play"

Or as the poster put it

Exactly. The Rust community has been very holier-than-thou on the memory safety front and quite absolutist ("how dare you code in non-Rust, don't you care about memory safety? You must be a bad person").

Now that it turns out that there is an alternative that is even safer, we suddenly get "well, it's a bit more complicated, memory safety isn't everything, you have to look at the broader context and requirements"

Excellent!

Glad you've come around to that point of view, dear Rust community. Now let's have civilized discussions about trade-offs.
