Hi. The author is viewing the comment (finally). What I can tell you is just what I have observed -- compiled artifacts written in Rust, at least initially, seem to be higher quality than things written in C. Rust is a pretty high bar to achieve technical competence in and that seems to result in better quality particularly given that Rust is designed to eliminate a class of errors that plague GUI apps (namely memory leaks). Both of my daily drivers - TextMate 2 and iTerm - are both mature, well developed apps and yet leak memory like sieves and crash pretty regularly.
I will look into Chime and Nova and BBEdit. Go has some level of interesting approaches to development also although they don't go anywhere near as far as Rust.
- drcongo 4y agoI don't think I've ever had a memory leak or crash with iTerm in the many years I've been using it, so I'm surprised to hear of your experience.
