The issue is a memory safety issue, which Rust aims to protect against.

But I am not saying Rust is bad. My issue is the complete unreasonable exaggeration in propaganda from "C is completely dangerous and Rust is perfectly safe". And then you discuss and end up with "Rust does not protect against everything, but it still better", which could be the start of a reasonable discussion of how much better it actually is.

> C is completely dangerous and Rust is perfectly safe"

Nobody in this conversation said that.

If you're actually continuing an argument from somewhere else you should save everyone a lot of time and say so up front, not 10 comments in.

The start of the thread was "The difference is every line of C can do something wrong while very few lines of Rust can." but this is an exaggeration of this kind.

yeah well quote that line then
