It's funny that people are assuming I was talking about Rust when I was actually referring to modern C++. RAII is a powerful concept.


It is, I've written c++ as my primary language for 30 years. I skipped c++14 and I'm still using 17, but staying up to date other than that. But RAII doesn't come anywhere close to the borrow checker in the number of mistakes it prevents.
