  • The empire of C++ strikes back with Safe C++ proposal

    Jump

  • "They" did not go anywhere yet. This is a proposal, nothing more. It will take serious discussions over years to get this into C++.

    Prominent figures already said they prefer safety profiles as a less intrusive and more C++ approach at conferences It will be fun to watch this and the other safety proposals going forward.

  • Well, its a brand new standard library. A fresh start.

  • Read the proposal: Lifetimes annotations, the rust standard library (incl. basic types like Vec, ARc, ...), first class tuples, pattern matching, destructive moves, unsafe, it is all in there.

    The proposal is really to bolt on Rust to the side of C++, with all the compatibility problems that brings by necessity.

  • Why Rust is the most admired language among developers?

  • The basics are all the same:. memory, cpus and caches in between ;-)

    But rust does approach many things very differently from C or C++. Learning those new approaches takes time and practice.

  • Watch out: That mindset is what got me into Rust in the first place!

    I was so fed up with everybody drowning on about Rust that I thought I need to read up on it a bit so that I can argue against the hype. I am a seasoned C++ dev after all, I use a language that I picked because it allowed for robust and fast code. What could Rust add on top of that?

    Well, I have a job working almost exclusively with rust now and do not plan to ever go back.
