A comment on A Tour of Safe Tracing GC Designs in Rust. Parent comment
Exactly, so I can continue this charade by creating such example.
Rust is not a magic bullet, and just like with your "proof" I can provide similar "proof" with unsafe.
Or I can provide an example in D, with has a GC and C++ like RAII, or Swift that also has a GC (ARC is a GC algorithm) and C++ like RAII as well.
I have been playing this game about explainging how to do deterministic resource management in GC enabled languages since I learned Oberon in 1995.
It is always the same pattern.
- "GC languages cannot do X"
- "Actually you can partially achieve X with Y"
- "Yeah, but ....."
So whatever.
