You can safely ignore the C++ part, the views are unsafe. I'd
appreciate if you backed up your claim on Rust. -- Andrei
rustc's source has about a 5:1 Box:Rc usage ratio after a quick
grepping of the codebase(ignoring tests ofcourse.) This isn't
counting all the cases where borrowed pointers were used instead
of RC(which has about a 33.4:1 Borrowed:Rc usage after a quick
grepping)
