This is why I've lost respect for lots of developers. I mean why the heck would someone re-implement a piece of code in memory unsafe language? We've a better language now, but this habit isn't dying very soon...
Btw. are we already again in these HTML / Flash wars where the second one was shilled as the only possible future for websites and incoming death for HTML? Oh wait, children can't even remember it... Search for it on Wikipedia (or probably even a printed encyclopedia).
If you check https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html , ARM is only tier 2 support, while Kovri seems to care enough to cover ARM. That's a legitimate reason to not choose Rust.
The best C++ pros make mistake all the time. Because it doesn't matter how much skill you got with a can of spray paint, if you do makeup with it, you will mess up from time to time.
If you've had 100 problems writing c++, rust will reduce 99 of them. No data races, no SEGFAULTS - yes its impossible, no pointer mathematics, no bad (nullptr) state of pointers and much much faster than c++. Just see the benchmarks here - https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/regexredux.htm...
Rust is 2.73 seconds and c++ is at 17 seconds LOL. C is ahead but not too much. ( 1 sec difference and who cares about a second when c++ is ....). Btw, have fun with your spray paint ;)
But you only tell us about one of them!
