Fully agree. The best time to stop giving the next generation of coders the gift of unsafe memory is today. C and C++ should be known as 'legacy' languages.

- butlerm 3y agoIt is generally speaking difficult to make an efficient implementation of the compiler and/or the virtual machine for many memory safe languages without writing it in a more efficient, statically compiled language like C, C++, or Rust. And that is to say nothing of software like operating system kernels and browser engines. So perhaps Rust will gradually take over the world there.
