Comment by Muromec 1 year ago >but the compiler needs to do memory-unsafe thingssorry, but why? 3 comments Muromec Reply mrkeen 1 year ago I am also skeptical.A compiler is a function from source code strings to binary bytes. Writing out instructions to do memory-unsafe things is not in itself a memory-unsafe activity. isaacvando 1 year ago I believe the main reason is for achieving the best possible performance. Someone closer to the compiler could give more detail. vitiral 1 year ago It's not just the lang but the std lib toohttps://www.roc-lang.org/faq#rust-and-zig
