one of the point people are trying to make and apparently get misundertood: 1) i need to code something quickly, easily, safely, and i don't care for perf too much: * i use python2 2) i need low level access, i want to manage object copy or the lack thereof, i want to fine tune memory allocation: * i use C (or C++) 3) I want something like python, but faster, AOT compiles, with more control: * i use Go but its not that fast and you can't manage everything * I use C# but outside windows APIs sucks and AOT doesn't work, and unsafe mode is unsafe * [...] * I use rust but the syntax is crazy and its far harder than python or Go So.. of course, rust may not be targeted at 3) - but instead as a real C++ replacement. Turns out many still want 3 regardless - even thus rust is closer to 3 than C++.
