Comment on The choice between Rust and C-derived languages is not only about memory safetyComments−virtualritz8moAs someone who has written C and C++ for 35 years and Rust for a decade now, the last five years professionally, I don't see the point.Even when I need what C does "well" from the author's pov I can just wrap my code in a big unsafe {} in Rust.I still get a bunch of things from the language that are not safety- but ergonomics-related and that I would't want to miss anymore.
