Go and Java can memory leak too. Furthermore, they are susceptible to data races that are not possible in safe Rust.

It’s a lot harder to memory leak in Go and Java than rust.

Just like it’s harder to have a memory safety issue in rust than C++.

if you are worried about data races, use a language like elixir that’s more safe than rust and is great for concurrency.

If you are a rust dev that forces your language into areas where a GC would suffice, than you are just like C++ devs who refuse to use rust for memory safety.

You are introducing memory issues just cause you don’t want to use a better tool.

What's wrong in using Rust where a GC would suffice? Rust type system gives it a more high level feeling than go could ever provide.
