Another argument as to why rust isn't the forever-language. My forever language should include effects!
Even rust has need of this. For example, I want a nopanic effect I can put on a function which makes it a compile error for anything that function calls to panic.
Though I think it's the closest language right now, ideally you have something that is close to "zero-overhead" as your forever language.
I really like how flix.dev looks, but there's always a little nagging at the back of my head that something like rust will always produce more performant software.

This!
This apart from build times is my biggest request for the language.
Nopanic, nomalloc, etc.
