  Based on this article it looks like it's possible for MS to truly embrace Rust. This would be an opportunity for them at the same time to extend the language by offering for example a dialect which is less focused on functional programming idioms and the stranger notations, like lifetimes. There are many people complaining about the above, and they would probably vote for the MS dialect, which could result in extinguishing current Rust and de facto replacing it with a more beginner-friendly version.

    I don't think you can reasonably have a Rust dialect without lifetimes. Ownership, borrowing and lifetimes is the very core of Rust. The other Rust submission on the frontpage right now explains this: https://boats.gitlab.io/blog/post/notes-on-a-smaller-rust/ https://boats.gitlab.io/blog/post/notes-on-a-smaller-rust/

      I fear GP's post has not been fully appreciated. (I noted these words: [...] embrace [...] extend [...] extinguish [...])

  Tetanus (consequence of sharp rust)

    (Note that rust does not cause tetanus. Tetanus germs live in wet soil, that just happens to be the reason the sharp thing was rusted.)

  This language should be called `Visual Difficult` since it seems to offload memory management to the human; while the compiler aggressively critiques them. It is safe though; as in fool proof.

    "Visual Difficult" I belly laughed. And I really needed to just then. Thanks.
