Dont mind the downvotes, I somewhat agree with you with the the lack of freedom argument (although not quite sure about the larger context around dystopia).

To put it in other words, I want my tools to do whatever I want them to do and not the other way around.

I want my tools to do whatever I meant to write. If I made what I consider a mistake, I want a tool to point it out. And I want memory safety, because without that, terrible things can happen that nobody ever wrote.

pointing mistakes is the job of the linter, the job of the compiler is to run my program asap and even try to fix my mistakes automatically. There is nothing more pedantic than a compiler saying "Oh you shouldnt do this as it can potentially be a race condition"
