I wish I could use that excuse, I just have the habit of posting first and then proofreading and editing, but noprocrast kicked in and then I switched to something else and now I can't edit it anymore.
However if I sounded like I wanted to belittle Rust I really expressed myself poorly, I love the language and hope it'll eventually become the new C++. If anything I was attempting to make the opposite point: you can't fix C/C++'s flaws with a smarter compiler. We're not two releases of GCC away from having safe C without having to change anything.
