While technically true, a specific example helps the reader conceptualize what level of danger that means, when they don't already have a concrete understanding like you do. Recall that the breadth of experience for rust's userbase is much larger than e.g. C.


Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I disagree with adding detail, I can just see the impulse to not, since anything you say may or may not be true.


me talking about rust's userbase

steveklabnik's profile: "Rust core team"

I'm guessing you know that a lot better than I do lol.


It's all good! You're absolutely right, and it's easy to forget when you're inside a bubble.


> breadth of experience for rust's userbase is much larger than e.g. C

Really? I think you mean the opposite here.


I read this as saying "not depth", that is, C programmers will have a deep understanding here, but since Rust is drawing in a lot of new blood, they on average will not.
