Question about "formal soundness"
⚓ Rust 📅 2026-01-24 👤 surdeus 👁️ 1I learnt this from various AI. They all told me stuff like the following:
- The goal of the Rust "Types Team" is to achieve Formal Soundness.
- Rust is approaching formal sound, though it's not there yet.
Yet I can't really get any search results from Google.
Is AI hallucinating? Or does it know some insider information I can't find?
I am asking the question because it's really important to understand the expectations we can set for type safety and borrow check security.
Will known exploition in cve-rs be finally fixed?
Is a-mir-formality a goal that is currently being pursued?
I would appreciate some insights from the types team.
