On “"Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?": July 2016 Update”

…ta. If a "new" programmer introduce new functions that work on that data he could easily screw things up. In Rust this cannot happen, because the typesystem does not allow to misuse data in that way, either the data structure is not "ready" to be used in a concurrent fashion or use concurrent "ready" data structures the wrong way. some talks: link to this video link to this video (old thread creation syntax) link to this video…

He says "Another question that I get a lot is 'Should I be using Rust right now?' and my answer is '*yes!*', i think *everyone shall be using Rust*. Some reasons i will give behind that are..." 2. And this talk (also happened to be by Alex Crichton): link to this video . He says "... zero-cost abstractions. What this basically means is something that at compile-time you can have this very nice interface, it's very easy to use, it's very fluent to use, but it all optimizes away to nothing." I think that's exactly what I was talking about. The first passage implies that Rust is as easy as the ea…
