To my knowledge, the Rust's book actually encourages writing as many automated tests as you can, as the compiler can't catch every type of bug in existance.

    Yes. True. But Uncle Bob literally complains about non-nullable types in the linked blog post.

    I'm not saying testing isn't important. I'm saying that hand-written unit tests are not the end-all be-all of software quality, and that Uncle Bob explicitly believes they are.
