Haven't seen anyone trash Rust yet.

However, one thing I'll say is that it's a big problem for people like me if a language requires you to be smart to use it. It's really, really hard to hire only smart/experienced developers.

What I need, and what I hope Rust can be, is a language that is opinionated (in the right ways) and won't compile if an inexperienced dev tries to do something dumb.

In Rust, the fact that variables are immutable by default (but can be explicitly declared mutable) is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
