gollark: Solution: remove libraries.
gollark: > and rust's syntax is a horrible tradeoff :PWhy? It seems pretty C-ish. I quite like it.
gollark: > there are tools that prevent you from doing unsafe thingsThey don't seem to be hugely *good* at it, or at least aren't deployed enough, given the massive frequency of memory-related bugs in C projects.
gollark: People make mistakes and you can't just tell them not to. Even SQLite, which is ridiculously extensively tested and has very skilled developers, has bugs sometimes. If a language can prevent significant classes of mistake without horrible tradeoffs, that is a good thing to have.
gollark: But seriously, "just don't do unsafe things and it's fine" is such a bad argument.
