One who has tried the language and hates it can completely dismiss it. Memory issues can be fixed in ways that don't involve rewriting millions of lines of code and the ensuing chaos, feature degradation, retraining, etc. that goes with it.

- wakawaka28 1y agoIt's not just the headaches, it's the smugness with which they tell us that C and C++ are too bad to be used and the only solution is to throw it all away and start over. I've seen some smug language evangelists before, but Rust has the worst. It's just too much work to rewrite everything and retrain everyone, for the sake of maybe preventing this one category of error. Calling memory errors "unsafe" is also a bit of a stretch.
