@casperes0912 I strongly disagree with this entire statement. There are already so many libraries, both open and closed source, that are written in C and C++, and I don't have to take time to write boilerplate code to get them to work, which are great implementations of algorithms regardless of any standard library, and that Rust doesn't by default provide. So much of the code that's gone into Rust was a rewrite of something that already existed in either C or C++, and often not a complete reimplementation. You can write good code in just about any language, but some make it harder and as ugly as C++ is, I can still make it cleaner than Rust by a wide margin. Even C can be cleaner with ease. And if you have to call a block of your code unsafe to get any real work done, then the language obviously doesn't provide real safety guarantees, nor is it complete. And if anyone wants to claim that only a tiny block of unsafe code in a known location means you know where the failure point will be, come back when you've grown up and worked on a larger project.

It's weird how many people keep making the same invalid "points". It's almost like there's a cult of thought surrounding this programming language. Instead of teaching good programming habits, let's just push everyone towards the language that forces a narrow-minded viewpoint about everything. I'm not surprised though, since the majority of people involved in the project are all a bunch of tyrannical leftists. That same evil attitude of "there's only one way to do things, my way or death". This kind of thinking is why a certain group in the past rounded up people and sent them to really hard thinking camps where they baked a lot. The thing that apparently no one understand anymore, is that there is more than one way to do everything and while most of those ways are bad, there's still more than one that's good.
