I think it overstates the complexity and difficulty of Rust. It has some hard concepts, but the toolchain/compiler is so good that it practically guides you through using them.
- frobisher 10mo agoAlthough I find my brainspace being dedicated to thinking about memory, rather than the problem at hand. Which can be a worthwhile cost if the benefits of speed and security are needed. But I think it's certainly a cognitive cost.
- notnullorvoid 10mo agoYou can use RC liberally to avoid thinking about memory though. The only memory problem to think about then is circular refs, which GC languages also don't fully avoid.
