There are several domains of programming with similar but not-quite-the-same requirements
- OS
- Embedded
- Game
In some respects, these are pretty niche and there is a lot of value imo in having a single-language that spans them rather than creating an even more niche language for each one. I saw C++ and now Rust filling that role.
I've not dug into the implementation details enough to confirm but when I see comments about runtime checks, I'm concerned there might be things going on that make this cover only one domain rather than covering these related domains. Even if its a matter of "programming right" to fit all domains, that just seems brittle.
