- mlyle 4y agoI kinda knew this comment would show up. It's completely irrelevant / orthogonal to what I'm saying. But I knew someone would have to beat their favorite horse :D Yes, Rust may have somewhat better programmer productivity than C, but it's not really at a massively higher level of abstraction.
