Uh... maybe? But Rust is more like a replacement to C/C++. So a better question is that whether C#/Java programmers could read C/C++ code and immediately understand those & and *.
- silvestrov 3y agoNo. C existed long time before java, so the natural career progression was for C programmers to become java programmers. It is not at all as easy for C programmers to become Rust programmers as you need to learn a lot about Rust before you are able to understand the Rust code.
- Const-me 3y ago> whether C#/Java programmers could read C/C++ code and immediately understand those & and *. Just like Rust, C# has an unsafe superset of the language. The meaning of all these * in unsafe C# exactly matches C.
