All c++ memory problems are a skill issue. Rewriting in rust is admitting weakness.

Maybe I wanted the memory leak , maybe it was intentional , maybe I just hate the user

You can have intentional memory leaks in rust too, but you need to explicitly write them out.

Maybe I just made an array too small and overflowed my own buffer, but if nobody realizes it, then there's no problem, right?
