I used to like C++. I still do, but I used to, too. Joking aside, I am not one to tell any C++ programmer to just use Rust. There are a ton of valid reasons why companies or individuals decide to use C++ and I don’t wish to deter anyone from doing so. What I am trying to do in this article is to see how Rust stacks up against a handful of very common (and severe) bugs that are easy to produce in C++. I tried to make this article worthwile for both Rust and C++ programmers.
