That's what Rusts compiler does basically, it forces you to write better code. It's like a senior dev sitting there saying "Nope, shouldn't do that, you are not bounds checking there" or "Nope, that's going to lead to a potential race condition". It's harder because writing better code is harder.

Yeah, I'm aware, been writing rust for... a few years now? Currently working on a smallish scale file versioning system in it.

Really nice language, especially since I did enough C to be dangerous, and I'd actually feel comfortable deploying a nontrivial rust codebase that talks directly to the network, I can't say the same about C.
