> The end value provided by Rust to its developers (and thus to their customers and employers) is less time arguing linguistic minutia and less time wrestling with a managed language environment, and more time focused on what actually matters to each of those developers (be it business logic, or family time). Hm, interesting that this boils down to a wholly unsupported claim. Part of it isn't even coherent to me. In my experience arguing linguistic minutia has nothing to do with programming languages (or any specific domain) and everything to do with personalities and social interactions. As for spending less time wrestling with the language environment, I suppose that very well may be true. But it may very well not be true. Here it's an assertion without anything backing it up. It certainly seems possible to me that another safe language (e.g., Javascript) may win in this area.
