Rust is more like: unless you can mathematically prove to me that this is equivalent to a nut there is no ducking way I'll ever let you compiled this.

And hot take, but that's good. I'm absolutely stupid enough for idiot gloves like that.

And then still segfault

If you can make safe Rust segfault you're doing something wrong.

It actually is possible to segfault in safe Rust, although it is considered a bug. Proofs of concept are shown in this cve-rs crate.

If you want an explanation of why this happens, I recommend this video: https://youtu.be/vfMpIsJwpjU

IME Rust programs crash at about the same rate as other languages. "Rewrite everything in Rust" hasn't made much of a difference for me, so far.

A crash is different to a SEGFAULT. I'd be very surprised to see a safe rust program segfault unless it was actively exploiting a compiler bug.
