> There’s a famous quote by Bjarne Strousup that goes “Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out.” Within Rust, too, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out: one with a clear vision, goals, focus. One that is coherent, because its features cohere. This post is about that language.
The problem is that using this "core" of a language never works. Either you need a feature or a library that touch the bad parts you are trying to ignore.
