I think Rust is a good choice for writing blockchain related code. Typesafe and fast like C++, but the Rust compiler is much better. Together with the borrowing memory concept it is really hard to write code which crashes, or has memory leaks or undefined behavior at runtime, which is no problem at all with C++.

yes it is. python is a very good example of how that whole thing can really get out of hand. i doubt other software programming languages have this issue to that degree whatsoever other than Rust of course since the OP mentioned it kind of has that issue
