Yeah that's what stands out to me as well. I wish the author had put that sentence at the top. The biggest feature of Rust is it's safety. If you don't care for the biggest feature of a language then it shouldn't be a surprise that you don't like the language.
- mmstick 8y agoHaving written Rust code for 4 years, I'd say it's not the biggest feature of Rust. It's just one of many good points. Among my favorite are the explicit & rich APIs, high level concepts (ADTs, pattern-matching, trait-based generics), and Cargo. The safety does play a big role in shaping some of the features though, and enabling some powerful APIs and optimizations.
