RT @compiler_errors: question: why are things hard to stabilize in the rust compiler?.

and nicely shows that you *don't* need to rewrite everything to get large memory safety improvements, just switching to somehow memory safe for future code is enough, and C++ is in the best position to have good interop with existing C++ code.

The difference between C and C++ is that C has really basic memory unsafety, whereas C++ has very advanced memory unsafety.

let's hope that Sean's proposals actually make it and are able to move the needle on making future C++ *actually* more memory safe, instead of just adding more advanced ways to do memory unsafety!.

it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening.
