Dont mind the downvotes, I somewhat agree with you with the the lack of freedom argument (although not quite sure about the larger context around dystopia).
To put it in other words, I want my tools to do whatever I want them to do and not the other way around.
- erik_seaberg 4y agoI want my tools to do whatever I meant to write. If I made what I consider a mistake, I want a tool to point it out. And I want memory safety, because without that, terrible things can happen that nobody ever wrote.
