@imecth @stuner @littleomid @uthredii ``Rust implies only 1 thing, and that's no memory leaks, assuming you don't use "unsafe" code. It's still very much vulnerable to logic bugs and has the same performance as c (GNOME) and c++ (KDE).''
Not only memory leaks, multi-threading generally is hugely safer under the watchful eye of the compiler.
It performs slightly better than C or C++; the compiler is able to make better optimizations thanks to deeper insight into the nature of given code.
