What use would that be to a C++ developer who doesn't know rust?
- tialaramex 5y agoAh, sorry, I didn't intend that it should address this as "Here's why it's different to Rust" but rather, "Here's a surprising thing about what it does/ doesn't do in your program" and Rust offers a contrast to show this isn't just "But that's how computers work". As you see from the standard library concepts the emphasis is on semantic claims like "fully ordered" but this feature does not actually provide semantics and I think that's a trap programmers would be likely to fall into.
