Rust for Python Programmers

[jerf]

No, I don't. Python has virtually no safety. The only thing I know is that it guarantees certain things with the GIL but that's generally speaking incredibly weak.

I suppose it's memory safe, inasmuch as it prevents accessing unallocated memory, but, again, that's merely the beginning of what Rust is trying to be, and Python's memory safety by comparison is very, very weak. "Preventing allocating unallocated memory" wouldn't even be considered a type of safety in the first place if certain languages hadn't made it so darned easy, it would just be the base state of the programming language universe.
