   Efficiently implementing a doubly linked list in C or C++ is easy. In Rust, less so.[0] And the prevalence and difficulty of unsafe means both that Rust is not memory safe [1], and that Rust sometimes is less memory safe than C or C++. [0]:

   Similar to how Rust clearly is not memory safe, Go is also not memory safe.

   The whole discussion sucks, because Rust is not memory safe, and can easily be worse than C and C++ regarding memory safety. Memory unsafety is entirely possible in Rust[0]. [0]: https://materialize.com/blog/rust-concur
