It has a decent idea that can already be implemented in C++ as well, but it also has a bloody fucking awful syntax that even it's own mother can't love
Overall, hyped to death because people's misconception of how safe it actually is and the fact that many think memory safety is strictly a rust feature
If you’re complaining about “bloody awful syntax” (which is probably the last thing I’d criticize rust for) in the same breath as “just use C++ instead” (paraphrased but that’s what you mean, right?) I don't think I have anything else to say to you.
I meant borrow checker could be done in C++ lol C++ can always get verbose syntactically when working in large projects. Honestly I prefer Go and Dart's C-like syntax
Memory safety isn’t really the main draw on rust for me. Traits and the very powerful enums are both higher on the list for me personally. There’s a reason people use rust for all sorts of things and projects of all sizes.
Rust is awesome though (and it also manages to be the singular language with a fairly friendly non-chud community)
I read a lot of the source code for Lemmy/Hexbear and I wasn't terribly impressed.

I hope you have a nice weekend!
