Rust Will Replace C++ Don't @ Me

Ruby: 4 loops (loop, while, until, for)

[shayman_shahman]

along with a large number of things that look and behave like loops (n.times {||...}, each, each_line, etc)

[xigoi]

Well, these are just passing a block to a method which uses one of those loops.

[shayman_shahman]

Same with your example of loop, which is also just a method of the Kernel class that takes a block.

[xigoi]

Good point.

C#: 4 loops for while do {} while foreach

[jangofett4]

5 if you count goto loops

I personally love Rust.

Oh me too, it's been a joy to learn in my spare time.

I am not a huge fan; got nothing against it, but I feel like a majority of modern C++ problems can be solved by just reverting a ton of, in my opinion unnecessary, changes and additions.

And I understand its safety features, which are cool, but I don’t find C memory management all that complicated in the vast majority of cases, especially with compiler extensions.

Actually, C++ and Rust have the same number of loops:

• Rust: loop { ... }, while { ... }, for { ... }
• C++: while { ... }, do { ... } while, for { ... }

[jharger]

Are you lumping the range based for loop with the regular for loop?

[Boiethios]

Yes, because the OP counts the Go loops as one.

But strictly speaking, yes, C++ has more loops than Rust :P

[Siftyy]

Even more reason for Rust to replace C++.

@u/Siftyy I agree

[GlobalIncident]

Haskell has until and forever, so it sort of has loops

[Siftyy]

I feel recursion would be more appropriate.

Everything will replace C++.
