>If you're doing anything serious, you need something that is going to compile even when compiler changes from version to version, unless you plan to write only a few lines, when it doesn't matter which language is used anyway. That's why I don't understand your argument for Rust. C changed going to ANSI C, and C++ change a lot from "C with classes" to the first standard. And D, the one you would "vote for"? Wasn't there the whole mess between 2 versions of the language and libraries? So, why should Rust be any different, considering it's still in design and pre-stable? When the spec freezes and Rust hits version 1, it would be a fully suitable language for his needs.
