> Rust is another step into the beyond. When finishing a feature and its test suite I’ll run my program to see it in action, but just as a formality – I already know it works. I also know that it’s going to keep working because meticulousness of the compiler is so good at catching regressions.



This is a bold statement, specially because not many other languages have such high quality guarantees at compile time.

This is the part I don't agree all of the time, but depending on the scope and size of the project, I've seeing this be true. And the compiler is really good at catching regressions, submitting PRs for Rust projects is not easy in the beginning, but it is very hard to insert a regression.
