AFAICT Rust is a general purpose programming language. People can use it how they want. How do you learn a recent programming language? "hey boss I'm going to write production code in a new language that I haven't learned. Lol YOLO"
- crabbygrabby 4y agoThe funny thing about this is, using rust for production is way safer than an old language like C or even C++. So the YOLO part isn't crazy here. If you don't use unsafe you cannot, read can not, get data races, among a host of other common bugs. Now if we were talking about some other "new languages" not naming names, you can memory leak kilobytes writing hello world... Yikes.
