a low level language that has really nice features when compared to c and c++, but honestly i find it difficult to read. probably my lack of experience with it, tho.
rust is only on iron
Other metals can corrode as well. It's not only iron oxidation.
We're talking about rust, not corroding. Rust is only iron, nothing else.
Can you make me some sake?
The red part of old metals, lick it!
It's a type of fungus.
Programming language like many others It has some fancy borrow checker that makes memory usage get statically analyzed by the compiler, so you dont have to manually manage memory, and the program won't need a garbage collector
so you dont have to manually manage memory
Not sure how this got upvoted with this glaring mistake. You have to manage memory. The point is that the compiler catches it if you make a memory management mistake, making things like data races, uses after frees, etc. literally impossible (short of intentionally using the unsafe tag).
I think it's debatable whether RAII should be called "memory management". Whether dealing with Rust or modern C++, you don't need to "manage" the memory beyond specifying a container that will determine its lifecycle behavior, and then you just let it drop.
You could certainly choose to manage it more granularly than that in Rust or C++, but in the vast majority of cases that would be considered bad practice.
That's a qualitatively different user experience than C or pre-2011 boostless C++ where you actually need to explicitly delete all your heap allocations and manually keep track of which pointers are still valid. Lumping both under "memory management" makes the term so broad that it almost loses its significance.
Yeah, as I understand, in the terms of language design theory, it is technically still "manual memory management". But since you don't end up writing malloc() and free(), many refer to it as "semi-automatic" instead, which certainly feels more accurate.
