I'd say the other way around: Rust is manually accounted (you have to take it into consideration when coding) while the compiler automatically manages it for you.
- digikata 10y agoI think we agree on the fundamental concept, but have a varying way of how one interprets the 'accounting' term: is it the tracking of the memory in various categories (which I think we agree that Rust does automatically in a way that few other languages do), or is it marking of given chunk of memory to be tracked in a certain categoric way (which is what the Rust programmer decides in code). Is there a less ambiguous set of terms to apply for these cases?
