I was going to write a rebuttal but then I read your comment and it mirrored roughly what I was going to write. > - Rust inserts Copy, Drop, Deref for you: it would be really annoying to write Rust if you had to call `.copy()` on every bool/int/char. A language like this exists, I'm sure, but this hasn't stopped Rust from taking off One improvement here could be the IDE. I don't want to write `let s: String` every time but the IDE (neovim LSP) does show it. It'd be good if I can get the full signature too. > Async is problematic Async Rust is by far the best Async out there. Now when I use other languages I am essentially wondering what the hell is going on there. Is there an executor? Is there a separate thread for this? How/When is this getting executed? Async Rust doesn't execute anything and as a result you can get an idea of how the flow of your program goes (as well as pick an executor of your choice, might not seem important if you are on the Tokio bandwagon but if you are in an envrionment where you need a custom executor and you need to control CPU threads, Rust Async suddenly makes a lot of sense)
