Sorry for the offtopicness, but could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

I was making new accounts for each different topic I posted on. For example I only used this account for this entire topic. I'll stick with crabby grabby. Sorry didn't know.
I think rust differs from scala in what it is trying to do. I also think rusts' complexity is backed by functionality that defines it's paradigm. Scala on the other hand has a few too many 'i think this would be nice to support' features in it that make it messy to deal with.
Rust imo isn't messy in that regard. Does scala still have it's place, sure. Does rust have it's place, yes.
Also if you read the posts on here, there's a lot less hype going for rust than the other way around. It's success isn't really due to it's hype, it's because people like what it does for them. Lots of people hate on it, usually baselessly.
