Rust's memory model is by far its most significant advantage over C++, and it cannot be added to C++ without breaking all backwards compatibility.
- pjmlp 6y agoIndeed, but there is so much to do on the ecosystem.
- Matthias247 6y agoRight. Rust is the only of those languages where I feel comfortable handing tasks out to junior programmers and NOT having to hunt for memory errors later in code reviews. That’s such a great reassurance and productivity gain for everyone that it seems hard to go back. In addition to that it also protects against the majority of multithreading issues - which is something not even available in managed languages like C# or Java.
