Golang and Rustlang Memory Safety https://insanitybit.github.io/2016/12/28/golang-and-rustlang-memory-safety …
Especially when we've eliminated more `unsafe` from libstd/libcore, eliminated libc dependency, and have more pure Rust libs.
-
-
personally, I’m fed up with writing libc-isms in Rust. We could have a much nicer API over syscalls
-
Which specific APIs would be most improved?
-
mostly filesystem related functions. The network part has good libraries, and nix works well for process interaction
-
but dealing with filesystem functions requires swinging CStrings around again and again
-
I think that Windows often is the limiting factor in those situations, for most APIs that attempts to be cross-platform.
