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?

    Memory safety issues were a thing even before bootcamps and “bootcamp culture”.

    Even if you fix expertise, intention, and mindset - the entire workfield environment and it’s people - mistakes still happen.

    If you can categorically evade mistakes and security and safety issues, why would you not?
