- The best package manager in the world, bar none. Compiling, linking, and platform difficulties disappear. The devops/devexp is next-level sublime. - "low defect" software without much work. I'm not talking about memory management, but rather Option<T> and Result<T,E>. For the same amount of effort as writing Golang or Java or C#, you can get defect free code. - Easy deployable to WASM without packaging a memory management runtime for the most intrusive types. Super portable, super fast. - If you've used Unreal a lot, you've hit build issues, linker issues, segfault issues. A lot. That'll go away.

It’s also a pleasant language to work in. I love that everything is an expression, I love match statements, I love that structs and enums are full powered, etc.

    Of all the examples of crazy Rust code you could have picked, you chose that one? Is adding ‘a really too much for you?

I don’t know how are universes split but I’m in the wrong one for sure! 300Gb compile caches, 5 minute compilation, nix flakes with layer and careful adjustments for different arch and deployments, cargo slowing builds by 5 minutes every time because it insist on downloading full repo every time (and occasionally failing). API libraries maintained by some completely anonymous guy or lad from eastern country. On top of it the bugs don’t get away. If your problem IS memory safety, then sure - chomp away. But I’ve seen u64 truncated to u32 because someone decided to thread it through JSON serialization and macro soup. Every bear looks like a puppy when it’s a cub.

Java 8 was released in 2014, since then Optional is in the standard library and a rather common pattern. Like Rust you can use LLVM to compile Java to WASM (JWebAssembly), and there's also TeaVM for turning a project into an optimised WASM application and CheerpJ for running a JVM in WASM. It was rather messy to use cargo on handheld ARM, it didn't spark joy so I kind of stopped trying after a while. Mostly I use Rust as a dependency I don't need to touch, but when I've programmed in it I didn't feel like cargo was that big of a thing. Maybe I would feel another way if the frame of reference was only like webpack or Pip or something.
