Completely agree. This is honestly one of the primary reasons I use the language for, well, just about everything nowadays.

Sure it’s nice that it’s fast. And Python and Java are basically memory safe (core lang) as in you won’t do illegal pointer reads. But the correctness is where it really shines.

Really this is an endorsement of type systems. It doesn’t have to be Rust, but Rust is the only language that’s practical, fast, and very very safe. floss.social/@janriemer/115685

This is why #Rust is not only about memory safety/performance, but about correctness 👇 Did you know that in #JavaScript when `fetch`ing the same Request/Response twice will error (when containing a body)!? It is because bodies are Streams, which can only be read once! You can clone the Request/Response/Body, but this comes with its own caveats (in the worst case the clone will buffer the body fully in memory!). #RustLang solves this by borrow checking and good API design... 1/3 #WebDev #JS
