I didn't suggest changing the Rust language. There are other ways to address concerns than by saying "you're wrong," which is effectively what your comment did.

Nothing wrong with pointing out that someone's logic is wrong. It is true that the only way to address these 'concerns' is to change Rust into something that it is not. Rust without closures, structures, traits, pattern matching, and algebraic data types would not be Rust, it would be C. We don't want C.

Unless the person actually happens to be... you know wrong... Which does happens sometime.
