>>6first of all, verify my repeating digits.
second thing, apart from the sjw stuff, the problem with rust is that it's extremely overhyped. what is rust? it's a statically typed functional (but not purely functional) memory-safe language which compiles to machine code. that's all. it's not the second coming, it's not the only way to write natively compiled programs without worrying about buffer overflows and it sure as hell doesn't guarantee your programs will be bug-free and secure (this is generally a problem with typefags - they think that all the bugs and vulnerabilities boil down to type errors and that a good type system will prevent it all; this is either 'silver bullet' wishful thinking or just snake oil).
third thing, it's kinda ugly and it's just not pleasant to write it. unsafe languages make the obvious solution incorrect and the correct solution tedious. rust simply makes the obvious solution not compile.
now, don't get me wrong - rust has some interesting features. borrow checker has its potential - but it's not the ultimate solution to all our problems. it's not even production-ready yet.
