I think we can agree that c and c++ are essentially table stakes at this point and that anything new needs to offer strong incentives. I like rust (I actually liked it from the sta…

I am surprised that you don't encounter a productivity cost in rust vs languages with a gc (like python and go). If that were typical then I assume everyone would be using it. What…
