No one thinks there's nothing to improve in Rust, there are lots of features it is missing, some of which are in nightly or on the roadmap. But the borrow checker and the concepts that underpin it are pretty fundamental to Rust and what separates it from other languages. If you like Rust except for the borrow checker, then I would think you don't really like Rust.
- troad 2y ago> If you like Rust except for the borrow checker, then I would think you don't really like Rust. The sentence in my original post that this addresses is supportive of the emergence of an alternative language to Rust for people with this use case, so I think we're just agreeing. (Although I wouldn't go so far as to tell others what they do or do not like based on my own ideas of what is essential and what isn't.)
