Is Rust an abstraction over ideas in C++ or is it in fact just a better set of abstractions over the same underlying operations? I would say the latter, mostly due to jettisoning OO nonsense.
- xiphias2 4y agoSure, I agree with you, I meant that Rust's type system is a better abstraction over manual memory management than C++'s type system, I didn't mean that Rust is an abstraction over C++, I'm just not that great in expressing myself clearly in this case.
- eru 4y agoIt's not just OO. It's also making things safe by default, and getting rid of a lot of accumulated jank.
