Any language is going to have to rely on some unsafe foundations to do anything useful. That isn't a meaningful criticism.
If you build a 100,000 line code base, would you rather that all of it could potentially have data races and buffer overruns, or that only malloc and some syscalls can?
Rust is absolutely not easy as you say, but neither is C or C++.
- MinelloGiacomo 7y agoTotally agree, it's about managing risk!
- whatshisface 7y agoC is easy to do wrong and hard to do right, Rust is hard to do wrong and about average to do right.
