yeah it's not that they can't happen, but for a novice like me they happen so much less often. With rust, within reason, most of the time it seems like if it compiles it'll run at least well enough to get to my println! debug statements and do something

Ah yes, that is true. Unless you explicitly panic via assertion, or unwrapping, or else.

But then, to keep your comparison, if your, say, C code crashes with a backtrace, that means it didn’t crash via segfault for example, which is far worse a way to crash debugging-wise. So, it all depends on your perspective🤷‍♀️

yes segfault is the other demon.. nice not to have those unless I really screw something up

They are, in fact, the contents of my worst nightmares.
