    Rust has better runtime errors, too. If you run a dev build, it should pretty much never segfault unless you use unsafe and will instead tell you what went wrong and where, no valgrind necessary.

        Can’t have a runtime error if you don’t have a compiled binary *taps forehead*

        (For the record, I say this as someone who enjoys Rust)

      ‘it should pretty much never segfault’ uh, isn’t that the entire point of Rust? Unless you’re counting failing a bounds check as a segfault

        I’m confused by your comment. Yes, that is a major benefit of using Rust. That was my point.
