I have realized this. Sean and I have talked about it. I became a Rust fan because of its innovations in the space. That its innovations may spread elsewhere is a good thing, not a bad thing. If a language comes along that speaks to me more than Rust does, I’ll switch to that. I’m not a partisan, even if it may feel that way from the outside.

Indeed, even if Rust disappeared tomorrow, I would assert that its biggest contribution has been to make affine type systems more understanable in mainstream, to the point several languages, including a few with automatic memory management, are adding such concepts to their type systems without having their communities running away in horror, rather embracing the experiment.
