It's really just you and another Rust fan, there's no need to further discuss this among the three of us. I think I've made it extensively clear - based on the above reasons - that I believe it's a horrible programming language and people using it now will regret it in 10 years or so.
You're welcome to read the rustnomicon to learn about the topic you're discussing. Having written C and C++ for almost 15 years and doing extensive embedded work with it, I'm very secure in my decision to use Rust. But I'm capable of doing research to learn about it and to be somewhat involved in the development, mostly as an observer, to see both the direction it's moving and the overall process and meticulousness with which it's developed, to make an informed decision.
It doesn't seem you're making an informed statement at all anywhere in this thread, choosing instead to be hung up on semantics rather than the facts plainly laid out for you.
Well, if you come from C++ then Rust might look nice to you. But I come from languages like CommonLisp and Ada, and so Rust just looks like a horrible abomination to me because that's what it is. It's also not surprising. A good programming language simply cannot be designed that fast.
I don‘t think so. The language is not perfect, and if you actually took the time to understand it’s benefits instead of spouting falsehoods, you‘d be able to see its advantages. My employer certainly sees its benefits, as do a lot of Fortune 500 companies right now.
I love C and I have used it for more than a decade, but I wouldn‘t choose it again. The most important thing I save with Rust is time and also my sanity. The very fact that I can trust my code if it compiles and that I don’t have to spend hours in GDB anymore makes it worth my while.

If that makes me an "enthusiast" then so be it.

hey, if you just wanna hate a language and feel superior, you are free to. But the things you are saying are stupid.
