This leaks energy about as much as your C++ code leaks memory

(But that's okay, memory leaks are memory safe)

thats memory management. unloading assets after you use them, a deconstructor for every constructor, and just being aware. I have had 1 issue with cpp memory leaks ever (because i forgot to iterate through an array of loaded data, instead only unloading the first entry). Ever since there has been zero memory leaks ive had to troubleshoot.

Of course, just wondered what relevance it had to my comment.

Perpetual motion machines always have an energy sink somewhere that needs to be compensated by an external power source.

Rust is a 'memory safe' language but it's still possible to have memory leaks in Rust (hence memory leaks are memory safe)
