They explained why C++ is bad. What is wrong with CLR and JVM and all the languages for those virtual machines? What makes Rust _much_ better then C#/F#/Nemerle

They explained why C++ is bad. What is wrong with CLR and JVM and all the languages for those virtual machines? What makes Rust _much_ better then C#/F#/Nemerle for example?
- coolsunglasses 13y agoLimited performance and control over memory semantics/management (predictability is critical). You can only take CLR and JVM so far for latency sensitive, low-overhead client software. Try writing a web browser in C#. We'll wait.
- Stranger2013 13y agoOh, so it is a language for writing browsers.
- coolsunglasses 13y agoIt's a systems language that happens to be designed around the performance and memory constraints of writing browsers but with greater consideration given to concurrency and memory safety than C/C++. What do you think Mozilla does anyway?
