Really, demonstrating the fact that it's exceptionally easy to write
buggy code even in Rust is not adding something to the discussion
where "safety" is one of the paramount reasons why Rust is
discussed??? Quite frankly, I think exposing the ability to write
buggy and poor code adds far more to the discussion than your jejune
commentary on my comments! If Rust was *that* good, the compiler
should be refusing to compile code that will conceal serious issues.
Do you have something against my name or something?
