Rust has better runtime errors, too. If you run a dev build, it should pretty much never segfault unless you use unsafe.

‘it should pretty much never segfault’ uh, isn’t that the entire point of Rust? Unless you’re counting failing a bounds check as a segfault

I’m confused by your comment. Yes, that is a major benefit of using Rust. That was my point.

Yep use a little bit more deeply cascaded generic rust code with a lot of fancy trait-bounds and error messages will explode and be similar as C++ (though to be fair they are still likely way more helpful than C++ template based error messages). Really hope that the compiler/error devs will improve in this area
