> GCed languages prevent the majority of errors the higher complexity of Rust unloads on the programmer to solve by wrestling with its syntax. The other value that Rust adds, that you're ignoring, is control over mutable/immutable access. In Rust, to share data between threads of execution, you have to grab a lock or such. In many other languages, like Go, the lock is advisory not mandatory, and nothing prevents two threads from writing to the same struct field concurrently. I personally think I'd really enjoy a "GC'ed Rust" for many uses. I wish GC was a Rust feature crates could opt in to, and then the embedded & high performance crowd could avoid that like no_std works today.
