- uecker 2mo agoBasically all C programs I use, shells, editors, terminals, etc. But I do not claim that there "never has been a memory-related bug" but that it is not "riddled with" memory-related bugs, which I would expect would have manifested in at least one segfault over all these years, which I did not observe.

- whytevuhuni 2mo agoMany Rust proponents are experienced C programmers (me as an example). We speak of the horrors of C/C++ precisely because we've seen both sides (3 sides more specifically), and can compare.
