While I have my opinions on manual memory management, I'll not open that file today (well, it may leak).

On the other hand, Go explicitly warns and tries to prevent you from ignoring or not handling possible errors. This is a bit different than a happy C compiler which doesn't warn you about leaking memory.

You pasting this comment link on all the replies clearly shows you don't understand what actually went wrong in this Cloudflare outage. But Rust bad.
