I am not sure if Rust advocates tell that it will "magically" fix logic errors. What I hear they say is rather more precise terms: Stronger Type system, and memory safety, forcing more explicit design (e.g. no function overload). Whether this is true or not is another discussion to have.
In my experience, it helps to have stronger type system regardless of any language of comparison if you want to avoid logic errors.
- kazinator 2y agoNot just logic errors but their problems in life, or something.
- gauge_field 2y agoOk. There are some problematic people in any community (although I would require more scientific data instead of personal anecdotes to be convinced, e.g. comparing stats related to this behaviour across different PLs with meaningful statistical metrics). I think this is more of complex sociological question than some people make it out to be. What I see is occasional people being aggressive rarely. The are disagreeing on a principled/reasonable manner. Those who are Rust fanboys (or whatever you implied) are suppressed/downvoted etc.
