I've started writing Rust code for fun. My initial experience with it is that its like writing a program wearing a surgery mask and latex gloves with a condom around your keyboard, while you sit in a padded room with a nanny nagging over your shoulder.

The borrow checker is somewhat of a pain in the ass to deal with.
But that said, I've never been so safe and confident my code won't fail during runtime before.
And the best part: it's blazing fast.

    That's the best argument for rust i have ever heard.

    This just ignited my curiosity

    @scon to put it bluntly. It's a concurrent language without a garbage collector with c++-like performance that catches segfaults and data races at compile time.

    Damn that sounds like a great tool

    Just played around with it a bit and Rust seems... How to best call it... "special" :)

    @ElCapitan it certainly has a learning curve. That's for sure

    I've been looking at it for a bit but hadn't really had a chance to tackle it and learn through its quirks. I really like the concept though.
