  • Memory leaks are more than possible in rust. Rust type system prevents things like free being called on an already free resource. It very much also allows not calling free even when nothing references things. It also makes things like arena allocation a fun endeavor compared to other systems languages. It’s not impossible just trickier. Rust isn’t a panacea, you would need something more like idris with its type system to programmatically enforce resources are freed at runtime during the compilation phase. But a fully dependent type system is very much a bleeding edge thing.




  • I grew up on a farm, hell no. If you think farming is going to be any different you’re delusional. It’s also full of physical labor that takes a toll on you.

    But give it a go if you want just don’t think farming or ranching is simpler it’s not. And now you alone take on the responsibility of managing many lives be they plants or animals.

    Yes it’s rewarding keeping a baby calf alive in -30 weather but be prepared to wake up every couple hours to keep watch on the animals. Also say goodbye to vacations. Without a family member or 5 to help out it’s hard to take a vacation without worrying that coyotes got into the chicken coop or other shenanigans.
