My point is, I find the whole C++ bashing bizarre. Not to mention the never-ending Rust evangelism.
Rust is a good language and tracking memory access and ownership is something that's not always easy to do in C++, even with smart pointers.
For some projects, like browsers, that's a big deal, for others, like games, not so much.
But, it's not like you can't do dumb things in Rust. You can explode your code in any language you desire. Your skill is the only limit.

Cheating in games is a big problem, and lots of money is spent addressing it, not to mention techniques which are barely distinct from spyware which cause performance reductions on the side. A lot of that cheating relies on bog standard memory bugs which game devs don't care about, apparently.

[…] You can explode your code in any language you desire Some of us have spent decades working as sysadmins, getting woken up in the middle of the night to deal with whatever the latest CVE is... Do kids these days even know about codered, heartbleed, etc?
