What is the intended audience for this language?
"[Rust] supports a mixture of imperative procedural, concurrent actor, object-oriented and pure functional styles. Rust also supports generic programming and metaprogramming, in both static and dynamic styles."
IMO, Rust tries too much (norrowed pointers, managed boxes, owned closures, ...). I am convinced that the language(s) of the future will be simple and safe.
- ufo 14y agoIf I understand correctly, they are aiming at things that usualy get built with C++ nowadays. Its hard to get a sinple and elegant language here because a big part of the appeal is having very tight control over memory layout, execution order, etc.
