The only problem is, Rust is shiiiit (Was: Who will win the new Prolog race? SWI or Scryer?)

Hi,

The only problem is Rust is shiiiit.
At least some argument about precise
garbage collection induced by immediate

malloc / free doesn't strike me as
convincing. Many modern programming
languages don't use the malloc / free

paradigma for memory management. You
don't get automatically pause free
systems when relying on malloc / free.

It can be even worse. I have seen browsers
that take a while to close a window
because they did synchrously release all

the resources of a window. So there
is a fallacy involved in all believes that
immediate malloc / free leads to pause

free systems, it can be even worse.

Bye
