I'm not talking about Rust lifetimes but lifetimes as a common term used in many languages. What I mean is that in Rust you're forced to explicitly deal with the lifetime aspects of variables before the compiler will generate any code. In C and C++ you're free to skip that and introduce leaks or use after free bugs, which are accepted by the compiler due to the language definitions. I didn't mean to say it's more difficult. In fact, it's less work to deal with these issues in Rust before the code gets generated rather than debugging mysterious bugs. Put differently, you're debugging your code while trying to compile it instead of debugging it after hopefully someone was able to trigger it and provide enough clues for you to identify the issue.
