Rust in peace: Memory bugs in C and C++ code cause security issues so Microsoft is considering alternatives once again

Re: Eh?

Except the whole point of Rust is that there in no performance hit.

A combination of language features and compile time checking make the accidental zapping of random bits of memory much more difficult. There are no extra runtime checks so performance is close to native C. You can still access and update arbitrary memory locations but you have to mean it.
