- MikeTheGreat 2y agoThis being HN it was only a matter of time before someone found a way to shift the conversation to Rust. Well played, sir, well played! :)
- akagusu 2y agoI think it's time to rewrite the brain in Rust, making use of its memory safety features to prevent memory leaks
- steveklabnik 2y agoRust does not prevent memory leaks.
- akagusu 2y agoNo? Really? So what is the point? Why are people so crazy about Rust?
- steveklabnik 2y agoYes. > So what is the point? What Rust helps with is memory safety, which is stuff like dangling pointers and use-after-free. Memory leaks are not a safety issue, they're an efficiency issue. > Why are people so crazy about Rust? The whole memory safety thing isn't actually the reason so many people love Rust. In the Rust 2024 community survey, 82% of users agreed that "Rust allows us to build relatively correct and bug free software." Memory safety is part of that, but there's a lot more to it. So, for example, while Rust does not guarantee the lack of memory leaks, it does make them relatively hard to produce by accident in the first place. This is due to the intersection of a few different parts of Rust's overall design.
- didgetmaster 2y agoI have heard that rust can cause tetanus, which is not good for the brain.
- taejo 2y agoRust itself cannot cause tetanus but it can include unsafe blocks which can activate tetanus spores by FFI.
