I don't use Rust at all :-) I favor Nim, Haskell and Lisp. I am just pointing to Rust as a better alternative to cc14.

Only in embedded systems where direct hardware access, memory and performance are issues pointers makes sense. In all other cases pointers are bad programming style.

This is some quality trolling. How can you recommend something that you don't use ?

I used Rust for a while. _Now_ I don't use it because I discovered other languages that work better for my current applications.
