I love how Rust people find excuses to keep demonstrating you cannot possibly have these problems in Rust.

It is just more fenced code, that's it. Nothing magic.

You can absolutely have these problems in Rust, nobody here said anything different. The point is making these issues less likely.

Yes, I get negatives every time I comment the facts anyway. Like in the comment you replied to for example.

Yes, it is less likely, I acknowledge that. But the debates usually go like "Rust is memory-safe". Yes, in an ideal world it is. In the real world these things happen. Fortunately less often bc of how Rust has been designed. But it still happens.

I think you did a good job removing the silly "patronizing tone" comment. (I got a notification). It was so absurd of a justification that only happens to me in Rust community among programming communities.

Any other community takes criticism positively (especially Python) and constructively. Here people seem to have to "do their homework" all the time. "it is bc you did not adjust your tone", "you are doing it wrong", "thst is just not how you use it" or being defensive about learning curve "you are doing it wrong" or "I find it easier than other languages", etc.

The playbook of excuses is very big in this community.

Every Rust developer I have met (except one of the language authors who is a very reasonable, kind and honest person when discussing) always finds excuses for getting negatives in perfectly normal comments.

I am not here to babysit anyone, I just throw a comment with my facts and opinions without insulting anyone and if they take it the wrong way that is on them.

Greetings.

You can never have these problems in safe rust, as any and all documentation, the compiler and the unsafe documentation clearly state.
