This is not an appropriate question to ask, that I see sometimes in these threads. "Because the author wanted" is good enough a reason for them to write a program in C. It being a new project written in C can also be good enough r

Re #1, when writing Rust consider using cargo check instead of cargo build. It stops a few stages before code gen so it can give you feedback faster. It doesn't help when you want to run your runtime tests, but will speed up the cycle

So, a single laptop hard drive a day? 50 tape drives a year? For the biggest repository of video there is? That's literally peanuts. There's some logistics in handling backup tapes, but that's a well understood process.

If the speed limit that was deemed safe for an area is lower than the 85th percentile driver speed, then that road is poorly designed. It should instead be redesigned such that people slow down themselves, regardless of what the sign says.

There are more error cases for invalid Rust code than for other languages, that might be true, but the friendliness of the errors is a consequence of project phylosophy and engineering effort, not a foregone concussion. Some errors fill in

TBH, "somewhat immutable" is not "immutable". The Go approach aids to limit the effects of an attempted attach where you're misled into building your project with different code than originally intended, but does no

Rust's PathBuf uses an OsString as backing, which is merely a sparkling Vec<u8>. Displaying a PathBuf or OsString requires an explicit request to either validate that it is valid Unicode which can be handled by the caller, or for
