Got to love Reddit:

I shared an interesting example of how uninitialized memory can be more complicated than it appears even below the layer of a language's abstract machine and compiler implementation. Someone tries to claim I'm wrong to talk about it.

They sent a follow-up too. "Sorry if I offended you" is a classy start followed by continuing to misrepresent what I said to have an imaginary debate and finishing with the amazing "I understand you think you weren't saying that". Why am I not surprised they're a Rust evangelist?

I'm against clueless evangelists driving people away from using memory safe languages including Rust with annoying and uninformed activism.

I wouldn't have made substantial contributions to Rust if I didn't think it was a valuable and important tool.

Trying to police talking about an interesting low-level malloc implementation detail because they think having knowledge is harmful is ridiculous. I think it's valuable to know there's a runtime optimization based on reading uninit memory being UB, not just compiler optimization.
