Not everything is fixable with rust. JS, for one, is JIT compiled, so Rust wouldn't help much there (it's one of the reasons it's not being oxidized).

"Also, Rust’s memory safety only applies to code written in Rust, but a JIT compiler also generates machine code and then jumps to it. That generated code does not benefit from rustc’s static analysis."[1]
