HN discussion> To me, this somehow says that most truely interesting problems can only be solved efficiently in Rust using unsafe. Even Vec is implemented with unsafe code under the hood. Rust isn't about not using unsafe code anywhere : it's about encapsulating that unsafe code in reusable abstractions that can be easily audited. This is how essentially all languages work to begin with: unless you're using CompCert, the compile…

HN discussionExcellent! I've been waiting for this feature for a few years now. So far I've used sndcpy[1] by the same developer, but since video had to be recorded separately, it was a bit of a pain syncing audio and video together.
