Garbage collection simplifies but does not eliminate memory management. That's okay, because even though it does not eliminate the need for memory management completely, it does still save the programmer from an awful lot of work.
Anyway, the choice of Rust vs Go should not be based on a single factor like "Rust is not garbage collected". Especially since many common coding patterns require some form of garbage collection, even in Rust!
- pjmlp 9y agoI love the work they are doing in regards to low level systems coding and safety, but in general a GC + ability to statically allocate feels more productive, specially as former Oberon user and Modula-3 fan.
