On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).

On the other hand, when weighing one’s feelings against the common good, I guess it’s not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?

    Segfaults aren’t particularly dangerous. They mean the problem was caught. The program usually just exits.

    Failing to segfault, thereby allowing a bad memory access, is where the real trouble happens.
