I know you want to not overstate rust's claims given recent articles, but I think you're actually underselling a little here. For example, a rust `enum` make it much easier for the compiler to enforce code correctness. It's hard to go back to similar code in C or Go once you've gotten used to `match`.
- steveklabnik 10y agoYes, I guess in my mind, "correctness" and "memory safety" are two different things. I like that Rust can help you write more correct software, but it's not nearly as strong of a guarantee as our memory safety guarantees are.
