You just can't stop can you? There's really zero need to say this other then trying to be an ass. I don't hate C++. I chose to write C++ as my day to day job after quite some time doing python because it's a challenge. There is no hate. But I have no loyalty to the language either. That is my way. No loyalty and therefore no bias. C++ is definitively less safe then python. This is fact and that is why I program in it.
I am also talking about type systems. Not just C++. However I AM using C++ as an example. It is flawed despite a stronger type system then python. The paradoxical dichotomy between the two languages is the quintessential example of my point. The type system is not essential to safety. It's an illusion. Types are simply sugar on top of it all because in essence you're just relying on error messages to resolve all the errors. Whether those errors happen at compile time or runtime aren't a big deal.
That is the point. I'm not waging a war against C++. I'm EXPLAINING to people like you who don't bother to read carefully or think carefully.
>But the topic here is type systems, and Rust's is more like C++'s than any other, and vice versa.
Categorically wrong. Rust's type system is derived from the Hindley Milner. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindley%E2%80%93Milner_type_sy.... Haskell is the the language famous for using this type system. In short Rust's type system comes from functional programming and C++'s type system is derived from OOP origins.
>but competition between compilers has improved them.
I use C++ everyday for my work. It may have improved but it's still overall horrible.
