Hi Bill, wasn't intended as a criticism of either, or as an observation about the syntax choices, but rather as a way of saying how familiar I am with both: I could say some things about them which are accurate, but not tell code samples apart.

RAII isn't something I happen to be looking for in a language, it kind of falls between Rust and your work in a way that I don't have a use for.

It's an interesting domain, isn't it? You'll always have people reacting from the hip to the problems C has given us, but they'll be back a couple hours later to talk about the wonders of SQLite.

SQLite got there by being careful and building tools to keep them out of trouble. I see an important role for languages which build those tools in, but don't try to replace a manual transmission with an automatic.
