this is a surprising statement --- in tust you need to formalize the flow of mutability, which is a skill requirement.
so why do you think rust for the boss seems cheaper than C?
- Sunspark 1y agoI can't give you a non-speculative answer because in truth, my coding is from the Pascal era. The way I look at it in terms of cheaper is that you don't need to be as careful, less need to worry about memory leaks which lead to exploits, etc. I.e. you don't have to track every little thing yourself. Starting to make inroads with larger projects now.. Firefox's audio subsystem is in Rust, while Chromium's is C++ (w/ tools to help detect leaks).
