  • TL;DR Linkedin clickbait

    I did read the article and it’s maybe it’s just me being a bitter, spiteful & petulant being, obnoxious to talk with but this article sucked. Every point ranged hollow.

    It was really bad because the author in his 11y of writing Rust never once heard about the philosophy of Rust/Unsafe Rust.

    The goal of MSLs is to reduce UB, and Rust want to do that but keep the speed and the productivity.

    Of course, at some point you may need some C/C++ because it’s the cornerstone of modern programming but what you are calling with FFI are audited, open-source libraries so memory leaks/undefined behaviour is minimised.

    • Rust is implemented in Rust so FFI is greatly minimised if we follow the logic of the blogger.
