I'm still not understanding the switch to Rust other than for education (which is fine). All of the things you get from Rust with memory safety you get in Julia with the Garbage Collector?


I didn't switch!

At least for some scientific computing codes, but I did learn a lot of Rust along the way and extended my knowledge into (some) embedded and systems programming. Learning has been fun and the Rust people have been very friendly.


I think there is one thing Rust can help you with that Julia doesn't which is race conditions. In Rust they're compiler errors, in Julia they just... happen?
