..and aptly named too: >the fungus Rust that is “over-engineered for survival”. Obviously Rust is indeed surviving (and thriving) and damn it is over-engineered. If C++ wasn't actively developed too, Rust would surpass C++ as the most complex programming language sooner or later. I wonder if we have already reached the point where no single individual fully understands Rust (C++ passed that threshold years ago [1]) [1] Yes, even Bjarne Stroustrup himself can only keep a fraction of C++ in his head at any given time, even if it is a large one, e.g. there was an interview where he got the behavior of unique_ptr in a certain scenario wrong and had to be corrected on camera by Herb Sutter (who certainly can't keep the entire language in his head either).
