  • From what I get, Rust proposes to make low-level coding easier by forcing programmers into a certain workflow.

    Yes and no. It forces programmers to a certain workflow like using a borrow checker to manage memory, but it actually makes programmer’s lives easier, because it prevents bugs from runtime. The compiler will throw a fit, over your buggy code if you try to compile, unlike C.

    The funny part is that rust is actually a high level language that can do low level stuff.

    But functioning C code is as good as functioning Rust code right?

    Yes. I prefer C because it is easier to learn than rust, and feel like rust is more comparable to C++. I also feel like llm plus rust is a good combo, these days.
