Rust is nothing like C. It's not even a midway point between C and Haskell.
Rust is C++ with stronger typing and a better memory management model. Comparisons between Rust and C aren't really accurate because Rust is the modern stainless steel kitchen sink that C++ can't be. Without its lovely ADTs and borrow checker it's just C++ with a better package management story. Nothing wrong with that. It won't replace C.
- kaba0 3y agoTargeting C for replacement wouldn’t even have been a great goal, C++ is the de facto performance queen in the industry, follow its suit.
- mhh__ 3y agoC is crap, but C is clearly the more fundamental point in the embedding space here so I went with it over C++ — "professional" C++ has its own idioms/Alexandrescu-isms that barely exist in any other language.
