Mmmmm, steak.

I'm french so my english is sometime funny. I didn't mean a piece of meat from a weed smoking cow obviously.

Your English was flawless there, he was just making a joke because stake sounds like steak, and he likes steak

I wrote steak in the first version. I edited back to stake after his/her comment.

FWIW, it is a mistake a native speaker could have made.

Mmmm... misteak

You were completely correct and idiomatic, goatlover just wanted to throw in the pun.

And this is the reason that I've become such a huge fan of Rust... back to the metal, high level interface like Java.

Rust doesn't bring much in that aspect. You could use C++ for performant high level abstraction for many years before Rust. Rust brings memory safety and that's huge. But it's not anything like Java, it's much harder.

Actually, I think it's very similar to Java in terms of what is being offered and at what layer of thought.

It does have a steep learning curve, but it's worth it. The number of concurrency bugs alone that I could have avoided if I had been able to use Rust years ago are sad to think about. Java has great concurrency tools, but doesn't do anything to make sure that your not shooting yourself in the foot.
