On: A comparison of Rust’s borrow checker to the one in C#

[daxfohl]

So why all the interest in rust, comparatively?

My assumption is since there is a GC, and it is not native code, there are too many use cases where it can't apply, but rust can. Once there is a way to have it compete with rust in every use case rust can be used, maybe there will be more talk.

Garbage collection doesn't imply interpreted. Common Lisp has had GC'ed compiled code for decades.

Or Go, for a more mainstream modern example.

[daxfohl → stackghost]

Yeah but C# is. Or, compiled to IL and JITted. Unless there is an AOT thing now that can truly compete with c and rust. Been out of the ecosystem for a while.

What does .NET compile IL to? :)
