I truly believe that's the only reason people aren't using Rust as a replacement for C / C++ immediately. The adoption isn't widespread, but I'm rather optimistic it will be.
It's getting there.
- twblalock 8y agoI don't think it's the only reason. My C programmer friends like the dangerous features of the language and want to use them. Their programs are designed around the assumption that they can mutate anything in memory whenever they want to. They use mutable global variables. They would strongly dislike Rust's memory protections and ownership concept, and its other safety features.
- feanaro 8y agoTo what purpose? It sounds like they are being reckless just for the heck of it, because that's how the big boys do it and they can't be bothered to learn a new skill.
