"Memory safety is probably the biggest conceptual leap forward in our lifetimes and we are still not yet in agreement as a community that it is clearly good."

"Memory safety is probably the biggest conceptual leap forward in our lifetimes and we are still not yet in agreement as a community that it is clearly good." It's not that we're not in agreement. It's just become standard for most developers so they don't care about it. Memory safety is only still relevant in the context where one is using C and C++ and maybe Obj-C. And in that context many do not agree that Rust is the solution for them, even if they appreciate memory safety otherwise.
