Worst Rust feature by far.

I understand how Rust solves some problems and these are indeed very important ones. But it still is a constraint that has to prove itself.

C is horrible, out of the question. Really dated too without thousands of band aids. C++ has millions of those. But why not start re-implementing stuff in Rust if that is so close to your heart?

We can also reimplement everything in JavaScript. It is memory safe too. Wait, where is the enthusiasm now?




> We can also reimplement everything in JavaScript

Look at js package stats - that's exactly what's happening. Many of apps and packages created today in js would be created in C/C++ few years ago. People who learn programming today don't know what C/C++ is. If they need something low-level, it's Rust.
