My Switch Away from Python

And I am pretty sure that writing unsafe Rust is as easy as it is to write unsafe C++. While I appreciate the safety that Rust bring to the table. some of the critics feel lazy and disingenuous. These weak arguments do not help Rust
- jonaylor89 6y ago> just looked at https://hub.docker.com/_/python/?tab=tags https://hub.docker.com/_/python/?tab=tags shows container a small as ~26 MB I believe that's just for the top layer. When I pull python:latest from dockerhub I get an image size of ~934MB. > And I am pretty sure that writing unsafe Rust is as easy as it is to write unsafe C++ You can write rust code that's as unsafe as C++ but I don't think it's as easy. It would require a lot of ugly, unidiomatic rust.
