 # Quote of the Week
 
-> what many devs often miss initially when talking about Rust is that it isn't just about the design & details of the language (which is great), Rust's super power is that in combination with its fantastic community & ecosystem, and the amazing friendly people that create & form it
+> Like other languages Rust does have footguns. The difference is that we keep ours locked up in the unsafe.
