I wouldn't "deride" you if you weren't acting arrogant and calling me incompetent or whatever.

Maybe, but the docs definitely tell you about EAGAIN and freeing memory after you're done using it. In Rust many kinds of logical errors you could potentially have made are eliminated by the type system though. For example I wrote a news scraper in Rust and ran it locally a couple times to see that it works, and it's been running for half a year now on a VPS and I never had to touch it or restart anything.
