Clearly that's a matter of taste. The popularity of rust shows that some people prefer writing it to writing C or C++, otherwise they'd just write C or C++. And yeah, personally I'd rather spend time fixing compile time errors, directly in the editor as I type, than hunting segfaults with gdb later.
- torstenvl 4y agoPersonally — and I know this isn't a good philosophy for secure software, I'm just commenting purely on the enjoyability aspect — I much prefer the logic game of hunting memory errors over the frustration of one of my tools refusing to do what I'm telling it to do. (Like Brian Kernighan, I usually use judicious printf()s rather than gdb or lldb.)
