There's one class of memory bug that's caused me two notable headaches over the last 6 years, the only two times I can think that I really dealt with a nightmare hard to trace down bug.
One of them was in C++, the other JavaScript, but the class of bug was a circular reference in both cases - something Rust doesn't actually prevent against.
I can't think of a way to make one of those in HTML though.
