We're comparing rust to c++ in this thread. There are simpler languages than both out there, sure, but that's not really relevant here.

  No, the comparison is against languages considered "safe" like Java, Go, Swift, and Rubi.

    "Moreover, Rust is extremely complex, similar or worse than C++"
    • coliveira 4y ago
      That's my point, if Rust is as complex as C++, it is not a good choice compared to the other languages. In fact, many people still avoid C++ and use C exactly for this same issue, C++ is too complex to use. These people who use C will justifiably have the same argument against Rust, it is too complex, and migrate when needed to something else like Go.

        If a less complex language meets your requirements, by all means use it. But I still have no idea how that is relevant here. C doesn't give you safety and less complex languages don't give you performance and control. That's why comparing rust to c++ is useful. But the way I think the higher complexity of rust over c is also not a big deal in practice, for much the same reason as I gave for rust vs c++. But that is also irrelevant here.
