- steveklabnik 2y agoThis is a good first approximation, but it misses something. It's actually that it protects programmers from accidentally doing dangerous things. There's a lot of support in the language for doing dangerous things, you just have to explicitly say "hey I know I'm doing something dangerous, and I promise I'm right here."
