Rust doesn't have GC, but it has very good automatic memory management. GC or memory management doesn't make programs immune to buffer overflows, which is the most common security vulnerability these days, while use-after-free is at 4th place.
- fulafel 4y agoWhat do you mean by automatic memory management here? (I misspoke a bit with "Rust doesn't have GC", it does have opt in basic GC in the form of ref counting, but it's not used much because a headline feature of Rust is code without GC and I guess libs with interfaces requiring GC would be considered uncool)
