Thanks for sharing. > perhaps Erik Naggum, scourge of Usenet, was right when he said: “life is too long to know C++ well.” I feel similar about Rust. I have read “the book”. Did a couple of small projects. It is also sort of committee administered language that sucks up tiny features like a giant vacuum cleaner sweeping the streets and changes every hour.

> that sucks up tiny features like a giant vacuum cleaner sweeping the streets and changes every hour. Can you provide some (preferably recent) examples? My experience has been the opposite. It feels like new features are given a lot of thought and deliberation, and stablizing even something small can take upwards of a year. I will agree that today's Rust is different from Rust 1.0, but I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. More that they were able to come to a stable 1.0-ready core fairly early on, and have been adding on the more tricky parts bit by bit since then.
