Hmm... A bug report from near a decade ago, where the bug was fixed within days. Not sure what your point is. If anything, it shows how much Rust cares about memory safety, because elsewhere it wouldn't be a compiler bug in the first place.

I’m not the previous poster but it seems pretty clear the point is to show how silly that absolutist pronouncement is.

Being so absolutist is silly but their counter argument is very weak. Can I invalidate any memory safe language by dredging up old bug reports? Java had a bug once I guess it's over, everyone back to C. The argument is so thin it's hard to tell what they're trying to say.

It's just as reductive as the person they're replying to.
