I don’t disagree overall. We can do a lot better these days but Rust just doesn’t do it for me. That language makes a train take a dirt road. It’s big, complex, and I have to believe “not what we are actually looking for”. Haskell promised all kinds of safety too and has back doors to hide “unsafety” that are basically “game over”. Rust doesn’t seem to do much better in this regard. Maybe I’ve not written enough of it. (I’ve written far more Haskell) How bad is GC really? Has Go shown it to be manageable and not an issue yet? Seriously spending all my time in C and C++ due to the nature of my job, I can’t say I’m convinced we’d ever start using Rust.
