> That’s subjective obviously. Some folks swear by type systems like Rust’s to catch as many issues as possible. That’s just not how I roll. Yeah, I like it. I also like not caring about dangling pointers, UAF, and other things, not even because of security. These are just bugs that are not fun to debug. But I get the appeal of the freedom of C++. Especially if you deal with FFI and low level stuff, Rust either forces you to write safe wrappers (good investment long-term, but not fun to do), or just use lots of unsafe, in which case there's no benefit. This, and there's also cargo which is convenient. > When I write new code in Fil-C, I just lean into the GC all the way, which makes programming in C and C++ so much nicer. Then it's no longer C/C++. More like C++/CLI maybe. And it probably gets tricky with FFI. Anyway, keep it up on making the world a safer place :) |
