> So in what way did [Rust] break for you? For me personally, a few things seem broken, but there are work-arounds. Some things are very confusing for me, and I might get past those. However, I work with some really smart people (Masters and PhDs in math, physics, engineering), and very few of them have patience for programming language complexity. They can mostly get by with a subset of C++, but it's not optimal. Rust is just not simple enough, and the "overhead/rules/babysitting" would be pretty hefty. I wish that was not the case.
