Ironic because safe Rust can't express many valid programs, like those with cyclic data structures.

Rust is most certainly designed for C++ programmers. C is all about minimalism and simplicity. I think there is a niche for a C like language with memory safety that retains the simplicity of C. Rust isn't it.
- kbelder 4y agoIs there a subset of Rust that fills that need, like how there's a subset of C++ that's still reasonable?
