As others have said, the issue is with C style memory issues.
Rust not only gives you safety and correctness, but gives you often speed as a bonus over C. There is a real benefit towards rewriting everything written in C in a language/tool system like Rust.
There is still a place for other languages, especially ones that use a garbage collector. Rust would make that garbage collector a lot safer.
- assap_cocky 6y agoThere is no conclusive proof that Rust is faster than C. There are many Medium articles using badly written tests, which don't accurately show either of the languages. Rewriting all software written in C-family languages would be a disaster. This is the exact thing that people make fun of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force for saying. C is here to stay, and Rust is as well. Many new applications will be written in Rust (not a lot because nobody cares about Rust outside the dweebs on HN), and many will be written in C. Calm down.
