       Say it with me everyone:Rust memory leaks are memory safe

       @BrodieOnLinux aren't memory leaks always "safe"? It's just memory that's not freed after it's not needed anymore.What's not safe are use-after-frees and out of bounds writes etc.

       Are Rust segfaults also memory safe?

       @BrodieOnLinux is this bait? 😅While memory leaks are undesirable in almost all cases, they are "safe" - just because they don't cause memory access patterns that are, indeed, "unsafe" (use-after-free, double-free, reading uninitialized memory, unsynchronized read/writes to shared memory, etc.)And the quotes around "safe" and "unsafe" are intentional - because those words have specific meaning in the Rust context ... (probably the source of much of the confusion around these terms wrt/ Rust)

       @BrodieOnLinux may I ask what your intention is? Maybe I'm missunderstanding it, but I read it in a passive aggressive tone.

       @BrodieOnLinux I had to triple read the post to understand it.

       @decathorpe Whenever I talk about a memory leak in COSMIC people always say "But I thought Rust was memory safe"

       @BrodieOnLinux ah, so one more example of "YouTube commenters don't know what they're talking about"? 😅

       @BrodieOnLinux I did some C and I am currently learning Rust. What I find interesting is how the design of the language forces you to write safer code, not just when it comes to memory but it forces error handling more than other languages. The Option and Result enums are really great from I've seen so far. The Option enum makes it so that the Null is not needed anymore. Many design decisions have been made to make you write safer code without sacrificing performance.
