6 days ago: Their experience with Rust was positive for all the commonly cited reasons - if it compiles it works
8 days ago: I have to debug Rust code waaaay less than C, for two reasons: (2) Stronger type system - you get an "if it compiles it works" kind of experience
4 months ago: I've been writing Rust code for a while and generally if it compiles, it works.
5 months ago: If it’s Rust, I can just do stuff and I’ve never broken anything. Unit tests of business logic are all the QA I need. Other than that, if it compiles it works.
9 months ago: But even on a basic level Rust has that "if it compiles it works" experience which Go definitely doesn't.
