FWIW in Rust "Can you access the object? Then it exists!" is true too, however you have to wait for the compiler to reach a certain point to know that you indeed were allowed to access it[1], whereas in Go you can figure this out by looking at the code :) [1]Or internalize the borrow checker, which is something which eventually, automatically happens to all Rust programmers AFAICT. It actually spills out into other programming languages too so you get a nice involuntary mental tool to ensure safety in C++ :)
