ESR claims: But you guys have competition out there: Go, Nim, Swift, D, and maybe other languages that aren’t on anyone’s radar yet. All those languages are garbage collected or use automatic reference counting. Rust is unique in using its type system to automatically allocate and free memory. For the use cases where the overhead of GC is too high - Wich are the same use cases that generally call for C or C++ these days - Rust has no competition. I think this explains why Rust is still in the explore phase.
