Someone wrote a manifesto about how using C, C++, Python, or vanilla JavaScript in production is basically corporate negligence, advocating for Rust, Go, and TypeScript instead. The reply? "Nonsense. If your code has reached the point of unmaintainable complexity, then blame the author, not the language."
Classic developer blame game. The first person is basically saying "your tools are bad and you should feel bad," while the second person fires back with "skill issue, not language issue." Both are technically correct, which makes this argument eternal.
The reality? Yeah, modern languages with better type systems and memory safety do prevent entire classes of bugs. But also yeah, a terrible developer can write unmaintainable garbage in any language, including Rust. You can't memory-safety your way out of 10,000-line functions and zero documentation.
The real takeaway: if you're shipping production code in 2025 without considering memory safety and type guarantees, you're making a choice. Just make sure it's an informed one, not a "we've always done it this way" one.
