If I remember correctly, just 2 month ago someone was
explaining
how they lost a commercial user because D debugging experience
was still not good enough by a long shot. And in my daily use,
debug experience is still subpar on windows.
only to discover it is not fun enough and fun is more
important than "memory safety without GC".
WHAT? Syntax is boring, but I don't get the sense of the
sentence
Right, might be personal judgement, at this point I was in
rant-mode. :)
Rust is supposed to replace C++, and it happens working in C++
since years, I can't help but notice we actually have very few
memory safety problems, to the point that I question that it's
something worth worrying about....[cutted]
Somehow I feel you are in the very lucky position of having top
notch colleagues, with small attrition in team members and budget
to buy C++ sanitation tools.
Many of the projects I worked for hadn't that luck.
Although I have spent part of Sunday doing C++ coding with the
Android NDK, I don't miss those long weeks at work, looking for
that pointer causing a server core dump, only to find out it was
a double free/delete or an out of bounds error in a complete
different module several minutes before the crash.
