Im not disagreeing with you but fyi will crichton definitely knows what he is talking about. He teaches Programming Language courses at Stanford and his brother is the all-time top contributor to Rust. So, pedagogy + rust is sort of his thing.
In general, this series of posts has been more about types than about rust so I don't blame him for ignoring unsafe. It isnt relevant (its also not a best practice!)
- monadic2 6y ago> his brother is the all-time top contributor to Rust. Say no more! Any brother of such renowned talent is sure to know what they're talking about.
- couchand 6y agoTeachers are just like everyone else: they're fallible and half of them are below average.
- db48x 6y agoWell, teachers are a subset of humanity and thus in principle they could all be above the overall average for humanity. It's even intended that there be a selection bias, so hopefully most of them are at least above average at teaching if nothing else. Of course half of them are worse than the average teacher, but that's not very useful information.
