I care to disagree. I'd much rather fight with my compiler than play the game of "oops, I segfaulted, let me recompile with -g so I can rerun with gdb so I can figure out where I crashed." Or more minor stuff, like trying to track down which header file actually contains the implementation of, say, struct mcontext_t so I can remember how to set the value of RSP in a signal handler.

I've grown to enjoy the Rust programming far more. Having a language, and associated tooling, that's woken up to the 21st century is far more enjoyable. (Really, why is it acceptable that a major language in 2023 still defaults to providing absolutely no diagnostic information on a fault?)
