The older I get and the grumpier I get, the more I want my code to be statically typed and verified at compile time because I don't like to be awaken in the middle of the night for a stupid null/undefined issue. Also, as much as I like to have a clean test coverage, most tests go away when you have a good type system. In the end, I find Rust to strike the right balance between expressiveness and correctness. Unlike C/C++ where you can shoot yourself in the foot, with Rust you're forced to write thread and memory-leak safe code. And in the end, Rust code often look much cleaner AND safer than the C++ equivalent.. what's not to like.
