Rust is boaring! I ll never use Rust for something I build for fun. It will be a shame if new programmers will stay away from C because of all the scaremongeri

Rust is boaring! I ll never use Rust for something I build for fun.
It will be a shame if new programmers will stay away from C because of all the scaremongering regarding the consequences of not freeing some memory (in some toy, pet project) in their own computers.
- simonask 8mo agoYou seem to believe that Rust prevents memory leaks. It does not, and that's not what "memory safety" means.
- sheept 8mo agoYes, Rust does not guarantee that it'll prevent memory leaks. But the design of the language does make it harder for you (and your collaborators/dependencies) to accidentally leak memory compared to, say, C++.
