Complexity is where bugs hide. Do you really think Rust protects you from every class of bugs? It doesn't even protect you from all memory bugs.

- sn9 3y agoRust just exposes the complexity an equivalent program in C leaves you to find at runtime. It doesn't have to prevent every bug, just substantially more than the languages it might replace. You can write simple or complex code in any language. The Obfuscated C contests exist so I really don't see what points you think you're making. Some people have fun pushing their tools to their limits. That doesn't mean they do the same thing in production code.
