That's terrific, and apologies if you feel I've slighted Rust at all. (I admire Rust's goals to deliver safety without compromising performance or debuggability.) From a native perspective, two things I would love to see with respect to Rust: first, a comment on Alex Light's work[1], as alternative allocators like libumem are often essential for debuggability. Second, I would love to see the applicability of native techniques like postmortem object type identification[2] to Rust. If that "just works" it would be reason alone to seriously evaluate Rust!
