Well, we first spent six months on 'cannot call function undefined of undefined'. We could have spent the last three on 'segfault' instead. Rust let us spend that time on actually experimenting instead of just fighting the computer all the time.
- aninteger 11y agoSpending 3 months on a segfault? In any language even a mediocre programmer you can usually resolve a null reference exception / segfault in a couple of hours at the most. With a complex program and a debugger it could be a minute or so. Maybe if it only happens in production and you don't capture stack traces or core dump files... but this happens once and then you learn your lesson.
