And it's one of the languages features that has a very steep learning curve. Rust forces your design into its model. Interestingly, rustc also seems to generate programs that leak memory. I recall an issue where the simple and venerable "hello world" program in Rust (i.e., println!) had memory leaks.

  That shouldn't be true. Please file bugs!

    It was fixed but isn't fixed. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19776 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19776
