they've definitely had feedback from all the crate creators and actual daily work through - at minimum - Servo's implementation.
the primary focus has always been systems-language speed and memory safety without a gc.
- andrewflnr 12y agoActually the no-GC thing is pretty recent. Memory safety was the big deal, and IIRC they didn't think it could be done without a GC until sometime in the last couple years.
- kibwen 12y agoAncient Rust accounted for the existence of garbage collection, but still tried to prefer zero-overhead memory management via linear types and move semantics. You are correct that it wasn't evident until much later that it would be possible to get by without GC entirely.
- rat87 12y agoIt seems like safety/correctness in general and not just memory safety is a major focus.
