alt Hacker NewsI agree it probably won't make it faster. But there is absolutely no comparison when it comes to safety/stability. I've written a ton of C code, and it's just not even close. Rust really outshines C and C++ in this regard, and by a very large margin too.
How much C++ have you written? Not C, but C++.
Do you like pattern matching in Rust? It is one of the features that Rust does decently well at.
