Rust Memory Management Thoughts from a Swift Programmer!
It is always INTERESTING to me to learn what programmers of other languages think about Rust.
Impressions of Rust as a Swift Developer: Memory Management by Spencer Kohan is the kind of article that INFORMS me of such thoughts!
That article compares the memory MANAGEMENT approaches of the Rust and the Swift programming languages.
BEWARE of the spoiler, but the conclusion makes me THINK: "My takeaway from this has been that while these languages do have some common goals, they have fundamentally different characteristics which lend themselves to different use-cases."
The role of Rust and the role of Swift and when to use them is something I must PONDER about!
