hds, I came across this article the other day, titled “Why Rust cannot replace C++”.
I feel that the author completely fails to understand the opposing argument. The article claims that with “new” C++ features like smart pointers, you can write safe code in C++, therefore Rust is unnecessary.
But I don’t want a language where I can write safe code, I want a language where I must write safe code.
