Rust is a language created by idiots who couldn't learn how to program C. I agree completely. Nobody uses Rust except for NFT and crypto shills, and that's because Rust is a rhetorical language created by a company that should be making free web browsers, not wasting time..m
- sirwhinesalot 5y agoJudging by the number of vulnerabilities that continue to be found every freaking year due to easily preventable problems, it seems nobody has learned how to program in C to this day. Yourself included. Having said that, Rust is a C++ replacement not a C replacement. The biggest selling point of C is being the thing every other language talks and running everywhere including embedded devices with crappy custom compilers. With both Rust and C++ you still need to write extern "C" wrappers which are suboptimal, even when partially automated, and neither runs everywhere.
- cultofmetatron 5y agoI'd say zig is more of the "safe" c replacement. Rust is more of a competitor to c++. I'm happy to switch to rust and be able to focus on making sure my logic is secure while letting rust take care of catching memory safety bugs for me.
