It's always hilarious how near totally amnesiac this whole industry is. People are constantly "inventing" shit that already existed many many decades ago, including all the bugs and warts, oblivious of the fixes and improvements from the decades in between. AFAICS much -- if not most? -- of the stuff Rust is being lavishly praised for now already existed in Nikolaus Wirth's original Pascal from the early 1970s.
