Rust vs C (programming.dev)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by modev@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev

Without any ::prelude and some void* arguments. Maybe you have thoughts about it.

The URL is just a sample of "why" but not "because".

I have my own preference but will keep it inside my mind to not burn a tornado that will erase me from the matrix of the world.

P.S.: I think C is faster, more powerful, and more elegant. I like it more than Rust.

Brushing off safety in a single small paragraph sure makes me feel like its not trying to make a serious argument. Sure a handyman likes the simplicity and freedom, but considering this:

In 2019, a Microsoft security engineer reported that 70% of all security vulnerabilities were caused by memory safety issues.[7] 

From Wikipedia, it's pretty clear memory security is a pretty substantial topic in the programming world. Brushing that off because you do not care makes for a bad argument.
