   True.   
      
   But traditionally high availability is used to describe   
   the ability to continue service in case a system goes down   
   and not systems with low probability to go down.   
      
   Anyway the memory safety of Rust makes it clearly   
   different from C/C++, but if we look at languages   
   typical used for business applications, then memory   
   safety is common.
