You can get management and safety with one of Nim's modes, as per the peterme link in my sibling, if you would like to learn more.

I don’t understand why you all are posting tedious details and well actuallys when the original assertion was (way back):

> Nim, which technically accomplishes all (I assume) of the Rusty things that require syntax, manages to do it with quite a lot nicer syntax.

Nim does not have something which gives both memory safety and no ((tracing garbage collector) and/or (reference counting)) at the same time. End of story.

The fact that Nim has an off-switch for its automatic memory management is totally uninteresting. It hardly takes any language design chops to design a safety-off button compared to the hoops that Rust has to jump through in order to keep its lifetimes in check.

>Nim does not have something which gives

You are simply incorrect, appear unwilling to research why/appear absolutist rather than curious, and have made clear that what I think is "clarification" or "detail expansion" you deem "tedious" or "nitpicking" while simultaneously/sarcastically implicitly demanding more details. That leaves little more for me to say.

It would be helpful if you pointed out the Nim memory management method that works the same as the Rust one.

You have managed to point out that tracing garbage collection and reference counting are indeed two ways to manage memory automatically. Three cheers for your illuminating clarification.

Sorry about being an arse. I got frustrated by all the talking-past-each-other.
