one downfall (*IMHO*) of #Rust is that there is no good explicit control of #OOM. wondering if this has been improved (talking about plain user space code). #rustlang

@jarkko there's been methods like Vec::try_reserve on stable for some time, but yeah, this could probably be better

@guenther I love Rust but taking the mindset that Rust is memory safe more than in marketing material is not a great idea. If the marketing material was honest it would say something like "Rust provides improved memory safety". I doubt that there ever can be literally memory safe programming language :-)
