gollark: (well, Rust just safety-checks it in the type system, actually, but close enough)
gollark: You can accidentally cause buffer overflows, segfaults, memory leaks, and generally do pointery things wrong; higher-level or safe languages abstract this away.

gollark: It's low-level and thus wildly annoying and unsafe.
gollark: Not C. C bad.
