As someone who has only used zig a little

I've has more core dumps/seg faults than any other language I've ever used.

Skill issue? Yes, 100℅, it's definitely due to my lack of skill in the language

The only time I've ever made a rust program seg fault is when using nightly macros/"features" and being on stable, leading to rustc crashing with a nice error and then I change to nightly

and that was caught at compile time...

Skill is a huge factor in safety

"70% of vulns are..." Yes, production code written at huge companies by experts... If experts are making those mistakes, that says a lot about it IMO

That being said, I'm not a "one language for all", they have their place, embedded rust is hilarious as it's essentially a requirement to have unsafe blocks in your initialisation

Anyway rant over

discuss

order
