A comment on First Rust Code Shows Up in the Windows 11 Kernel. Parent comment
1. Rust is low level
2. Low level details leak through abstractions
3. This creates a difficult trade off for use cases that do not require manipulation of low level constructs
I am making these assertions:
1. Pointers are not particularly "low level"
2. The tradeoffs when pointers are abstracted away are worse
3. It is sad that trained professionals believe that pointers are difficult to understand
