We are talking about Rust, not Haskell, here. Uses of extern "C" definitely generates more problems at runtime that higher-level interface ever could — only they generate random crashes, not predictable panics.
In the past for things like integer overflow or array access Rust usually picked up panics in place of UB, but with stable ABI approach is the opposite.
That looks a bit illogical to me, but then, people are not always rational.
