> after getting over the hump of Rust's pointer semantics, I've found that it's a very elegant and fairly simple language Definitely, I cannot stress this enough. Back when I first looked at the language in 0.3 it was awfully complex and I had doubts about hwo successful it would be. But ever since 0.4, with the removal of classes and argument modes, the core devs have been working extremely hard to make the core semantics of Rust as simple as possible, whilst at the same time making the language powerful and extensible. It will take time to dispel the myths still hanging around though, so I would urge you to share your experiences more widely.
