This seems to be a severe misunderstanding, basically all typed pure functional languages are more safe: haskell, sml, ocaml, etc.
It is safe without a garbage collector that is the core benefit.
- unstruktured 2y agoI think when people say safest they mean the safest "C like" language with zero cost abstractions.
- fl0id 2y agoYeah but the author went from typescript to rust… what did they expect.
- tossandthrow 2y agoThen irony is that typescript (well, Javascript) has full memory safety. The changes of segfaults only increased when he switched to rust.
- palata 2y agoI am not convinced about that. I think that many people discovered the notion of "memory safety" with Rust, and think that only Rust provides it. The grandparent is right: Rust brings memory safety at low cost, that's the whole point.
