    Its not Rusts fault, the devs are simply lazy and making insecure products, as they dont want to rewrite everything.

      That’s what I am saying.

      To quote you: “they don’t want to rewrite everything” …

      Writing Rust often implies major refactoring and it takes so much time to write that your requests go: “pewf” closed due to the amount of effort it takes.

      Anyway, been there, done that! Zig is probably the real future; it’s a joy to write, it compiles fast, clear to read, and safe.

      It has shared libraries and a proper integration with existing C/CPP code base.

      You should try it, that’s an amazing language with a real potential to replace the legacy.

        I dunno man… I’m not sure I’m so keen on a language that prides itself on not having macros

          Comptime replaces macros/reflection.

          It’s basically Zig code that runs at compile time in your code…

          No other “weird” language to learn; it’s zig all the way. What you would have written in macro is written in zig comptime.

          Even the build system is zig…

          Same for generics, it’s comptime…
