Thank you very much. >Rust is high on my list of languages to learn next, but because it's interesting in its own right Can you elaborate more about that too?

Thank you very much. >Rust is high on my list of languages to learn next, but because it's interesting in its own right Can you elaborate more about that too? Why you find it interesting as a Lisper?

My interest in Rust doesn't have anything particularly to do with Lisp. I'm interested in programming languages in general, for their own sake, and I consider Rust's experiments in type-supported safety and resource-management to be interesting. In some respects, it's sort of the opposite of what I like in a programming language, particularly in that it's a batch-compiled language with a reputation for long compile times. Still, I'm interested in its approach to safety and resource management.
