Why should I use Rust instead of C++? The trend of "hey MA, lookie here, I rewrite X in Rust" is getting tiresome.

- jemmyw 3y agoWhile I agree I'm not that keen on the rewrite in rust as an advert, there can be good reason to do so. A higher degree of memory safety is desirable for all those little tools. > Why should I use Rust instead of C++? You don't have to. But you also don't need to tie your identity or opinions to a language. Maybe you'd like rust, maybe not... Maybe you'd like it in a particular context. I don't know. Personally I've found it very approachable for a type of programming that I previously didn't touch where C and C++ ruled.
