I've been studying C++ over 15+ years and still don't feel very productive thanks to the fear of getting paged every releases.

Does Rust give guarantees around paging? Is Rust similar to C++ in that respect?

    FWIW, I believe the person you are replying to means "paged" as in "an alert was sent to my pager at 3AM that the entire system is down and I need to wake up and fix it", not the paging in/out of memory.

    At least you won't get paged due to some weird memory bugs. Yes, this happens quite frequently. Worse, it's usually not something local to a single change but interaction across seemingly safe changes.
