A Rustacean is a homosexual child predator species that is mostly found in basements. They like to lurk on the internet and rant about how rewriting every existing piece of software in Rust will improve our future and stop climate change, despite the language itself being very unreliable and unstable. Rust is so unstable that a program written in it has a 49% chance of self-destructing. Usually a Rustacean will claim that Rust is better than C++ because it is "memory-safe," unlike C++. In reality, Rust doesn't have any runtime memory safety checking or a garbage collector. Only the compiler predicts and warns the developer. Rustaceans write code that simply tricks the compiler.
