Not sure those optimisations are worth much. And it's only safety by forcing lowest common denominator code and making you justify everything to a dumb compiler

Not sure those optimisations are worth much. And it's only safety by forcing lowest common denominator code and making you justify everything to a dumb compiler. Rust serves a niche, but it is a tight niche IMO.
