> Hmm.. wasn't memory safety the main selling point for rust? The vast majority of Rust programmers aren't spending their time re-implementing core data structures like Vec, so memory safety (and the fact that library authors can build safe abstractions on top of unsafe code, which is impossible in C or C++) still benefits them.
