Safety yes, but stability? It's crash early model wrt stack overflows and out-of-memory errors seems to trade off availability for safety. Not proficient in Rust as a user nor as a developer, so an honest question.
- cies 4y agoSo Zig then?
- groestl 4y agoI'd have chosen JVM for safety, ease of deployment, stability and performance, and Java for maturity of the toolchain (fully aware that required memory would be a concern). With that in mind, can you pitch Zig to me?
- nicoburns 4y ago> It's crash early model wrt stack overflows and out-of-memory errors seems to trade off availability for safety It's worth noting that while you can catch these kind of errors in C, very little software actually does so. The only software I'm aware of that does this is SQLite. Your C software will more than likely crash in OOM and StackOverflow situations too.
- groestl 4y ago> while you can catch these kind of errors in C Tbh C would have never crossed my mind as an alternative for Rust in this case. I guess that says something.
