I'm sure I sound like a broken record but Rust has solved the problem of memory safety lower in the stack pretty well with the borrow checker. There is almost no reason to use unsafe code aside from interop.
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoSure, I'd be into it, if someone would pay me to work in Rust. That hasn't happened for me yet. But there is a cognitive overhead cost to working with Rust. Or even just following consistent RAII patterns in C++. It doesn't come for free. Trade-offs.
- jolux 6y agoYep. ‘Tis true. I keep telling Rust people that I could do with less syntactic overhead and that sometimes I just want GC, but I don’t think it’s a priority for the community and they already have a lot on their plate and it does basically everything else right, imo.
