Disclaimer: I pretty much don’t like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

    I know. My main grief with it is that it should have been a memory safe language closer in looks and paradigm with C, but many of those alternatives are still new. Would have solved some of the drama surrounding Rust integration.

        It’s certainly different than C, but IMO Rust’s type system is also a dramatic improvement.

          I am still learning Rust, so I can Not really say that much about it, but especially when considering things like Error handling it seems very good. No more returning invalid values. You just return a Result type and implement error handling based on that.
