Matthew Garrett added,
"No way to prevent this", say programmers of only language where this regularly happens
How else do you prevent a multi-frame pause every so often in a game?
At the cost of not supporting many types of data structures.
It supports them just fine. (Watch the closing keynote of Rustconf 2018!) You just might have to write them a bit differently.
Does the team generally regard storing indices instead of references like that a language deficiency? Or is it seen as something outside the language?
I can’t really speak for “the team”. I personally consider the inability to safely create certain kinds of graph data structures without using interior mutability the least-bad of all the options.
Given the choice between (a) sacrificing certain kinds of data structures, (b) sacrificing memory safety, or (c) sacrificing GC freedom/data race freedom (while still allowing shared memory), I’ll pick (a). At least for Rust’s design constraints.
That makes sense. Thanks!
