Each has their own plusses an minuses; it's hard to make a sweeping statement that as a whole one culture is superior or inferior to another. Look up what Leonard Sax has to say about today's Western (particularly American) cultur

The article I linked to probably wasn't the best example. However, that is not to say that what I was referring to did not happen. There are numerous examples of such.

They definitely have problems, I didn't say otherwise. See my other comment, Iran has the death penalty for female rape victims. So labeling the Saudi culture as "truly inferior" doesn't make sense to be honest. They hav

That's the same type of generalization the OP wanted to avoid.

Makes sense. Though Cells would really stand out in the code as a potential for race conditions (unless you get a run time failure?). Thanks for the insight.

Would it be better to combine both types (e.g. a MutRc<T> type), and get rid of Cell/RefCell?

GC is not the answer to everything.

I think that's pretty unfair. Rust has not even reached 1.0 yet, and there are already some cool projects being implemented. There were even a couple of games written in Rust for Ludum Dare, not to mention at least one case of use in p

Haskell and ML are practically FP oriented. You might want to check out Rust for a language that is not purely FP oriented (it is multi-paradigm), yet attempts to take pragmatic choices from such languages. There seems to be a good communit

> What language created in the last 5 years has a feature that wasn't originally discovered in the 80s or earlier? I may be wrong, but isn't Rust's static lifetime analysis to avoid GC something novel?
