On: Make your program slower with threads (2014)

[fullstackchris]

isnt this the whole point of what rust is trying to accomplish? i havent yet worked with rust but from what i hear they make it very hard (impossible?) to have memory issues and things like deadlocks. sounds great in theory but no idea if this is the reality of using it

[ketralnis → fullstackchris]

No. Rust has no controls for side effects or allocations

[adhamsalama → fullstackchris]

Rust solves race conditions, but not deadlocks.

[felipellrocha → fullstackchris]

It is, yeah. Which is why when you compile 99/100 times it just works. I don’t think people understand that this is one of Rust’s best features.
