So they gained nothing from a Rust rewrite, except introducing more bugs into their shit codebase.

Except the blog post shows that they fixed a hundred or so known issues, patching several memory leaks and making the project viable for Prisma Compute's adoption - which it wasn't before. It's now running in production in two places just fine.

Can you point to an equal number of issue tracker tickets showing novel bugs or regressions in the canary build?

Yes, they have introduced (at least) several times more memory safety issues by violating the rust specific rules. Check how most of their unsafe blocks are unsound and worse, how many are straight up incorrect with a total bs // SAFETY above it, leaving no sensible usage without invoking UB.

We often ensure a project holds water against miri. This one doesn't even pass for clippy.
