I'm surprised by the use of Rust in domains where a GC is perfectly fine, like much of CLI tooling. Manual memory management is one of the most time consuming issues to deal with and I don't understand why people are burdening themselves with it in domains where it's not strictly necessary. If you want an ML / C family hybrid language there's Ocaml, or if you just want a fast static-binary language there's Go.
