Plz don't disparage Rust evangelism!

Rust is awesome. yes it is complex, frequently annoying, easy to learn difficult to master. I'm speaking from a 30 year dev career.

a few months ago I intended to do a quick investigation into RUST to validate my "i really don't need to learn this" specifically for an embedded project. Within a few hours I found I had become a zealot. Rust has too many "omg, i should tell everybody about this" behaviors that I can't even find my favorite aspect yet.

It's equivalent to a lost soul finding Christianity and accepting the lords blessing and forgiveness! The weight that is lifted of being forgiven to your sins resulting == no more guilt, it's all forgiven! immediately reduction of cognitive dissonance. in this example with rust, it's pointer tracking and memory management, but it's basically the same thing. Rust is for the pious developer.

Those people who are still using C++ for fresh starts are the same folks who love to do things the hard & wrong way, or at least those who don't know any better, infidels, unwashed heathen.
