Likewise, though from my limited research it seems Rust has legacy baggage of its own already, and there's difficulty in coming to a consensus on what qualifies as idiomatic Rust. It seems that the same principle of cherry-picking a subset of features would apply just the same to Rust as it does to C++. The latter being far messier, of course.

Some things still are on nightly builds, so will take some time to be perfect, at least for me. I have plans to use in production on next months =)

> it seems Rust has legacy baggage of its own already What is considered legacy cruft in Rust? The only change I'm aware of was the introduction of the `?` operator to replace the `try!` macro. That's easy to find/replace.

  The notion extends to official libraries, not just the language itself. That said, I'm not the best person to ask, but cursory research turns up a few examples.[0][1][2][3] Some of these aren't examples of legacy cruft per se. However, as complexity is added to a language at a rapid rate, there becomes more confusion over what best practice actually is.
