Could you elaborate a bit? I'm curious precisely what you mean, though I can make some guesses.

  Elaborate on what? Rust or the pragmatism stuff?

    The "pragmatism" mainly, although I'd also be interested in how Rust specifically doesn't cause learned helplessness.

      It's become very trendy these days to be hyper-pragmatic and dismiss attempts to push forward new big ideas or programming languages as frivolous. "Shut up and give me another 500 lines of PHP, we have (made up) deadlines to meet!"

        Oh oh, yes! 100%
