Re: Too Bad that

I'll have you know that this old AC has had a firm grasp of pointers since the 1980s, when there was no choice in the matter, and still does.

I also have a firm grasp, having been around for a long time, on how much project time gets used in review, testing, bug hunting and support, and how valuable it is to the goals of a project to use something that reduces that. Writing code in C/C++ and ensuring that it has been written properly simply takes more time than it does in Rust.

Nonsense written by somebody who never quite grasped pointers.

Listen up, youngster, it's supposed to be the hot new bloods rushing off to use new technologies and lanaguages. If you're being left behind by us old fogies, you're in for a nasty shock.
