This a million times. I love working with Rust because it's - from my point of view - an ML language disguised in C-syntax (with a package manager and unit testing etc. etc). Most of the time I'd be served well by a GC version of Rust.
- carterschonwald 3y agoRust with gc by default and higher kinded traits being sane and supported would be my fave
- threeseed 3y ago> Most of the time I'd be served well by a GC version of Rust You've just described Scala which inspired many of Rust's features.
- pjmlp 3y agoThat would be Standard ML, Haskell and OCaml, not Scala.
- selfmodruntime 3y agoSame. I wished for this many times. I don't need incredibly detailed on-the-metal precision and most of the time, I do not want to think about stack, heap or lifetime parameters. I enjoy the language for its syntax.
