    point is, Rust manages to give you not a segfault but a meaningful error almost all the time until you use unsafe

      If you’re getting a segfault in C++, it’s also cause you used unsafe code. It’s just not officially enclosed in an “unsafe” block.

        the point was not on the unsafe word, but a very specific feature of Rust that helps enclosing unsafe code where the compiler wouldn’t be able to 100% verify your logic. no such thing in C++. C++ does not even attempt to verify safety

        your response is basically “get better at coding dumbass, I am the safety validator”
