Is this the new “I’m on Arch btw”? The comment you’re replying to doesn’t say anything about memory safety or C++

  Rust's security improvements the comment I'm replying to mentions come from the fact it is memory safe. C/C++ are just the obvious comparison for a very popular memory unsafe language.

  No it's the new "I use go btw" (which itself is the new "just use python for that", which was the new "do it in java for portability". I wasn't old enough to witness C++'s initial rise, but it was famous for it's hype squad and people selling it as a silver bullet. As was C (that slow language will never be as good as a real programmer doing it all in assembly is the story there IIRC)).
