byko3ySeveral core problems with Rust
> Node.js and Go are considered practically safe language
Node JS has had vulnerabilities in the past: https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2021-22940/
Go is also not Memory safe: https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2025/07/24/memory-safety.html
Node.js and Go are both memory safe, as are Python, Ruby, and Java. "Memory safe" is a term of art referring to susceptibility to memory corruption vulnerabilities in code written by an ordinary practitioner of the language. Almost invariably, attempts to show languages like Go and Python as memory-unsafe involve a programmer deliberately working to defeat the language. But you can do that in any language, including Rust.
There are essentially just two mainstream memory-unsafe languages: C and C++.
I'm annoyed that this submission's title was changed. This was first submitted with the original title, "Rust is a disappointment," and got flagged. It looks like it's been unflagged and the title has been changed.
A quick search of HN shows a bunch of articles, "X is a disappointment," which aren't flagged. Do folks have such thin skin about this topic that expressing disappointment deserves flags?
