> I'd put rust in the lineage of scala, and even perl. They attract programmers that love the beauty of the code - good programmers - but they don't actually help accomplish making maintainable code that solves problems. I suspect you _vastly_ underestimate how many problems perl has solved in the last 30+ years... (But I'm an old-school Perl guy who's really really interested in Rust, so maybe this is my perception that's skewed?)
