The funny thing is Rust adds a lot of complexity to solve the main problem it purports to solve: memory management. I spent the first 20 years of my career doing C/C++ development and we were able to "solve" that problem with far less complexity. Rust changed so much in the early days (I really hate the mantra of move fast and break things when it comes to programming languages) that I got tired of all the breaking changes and total disregard for backward compatibility. Which is cool if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm not. Maybe Rust has added more killer features since then warranting the complexity? I really don't know.

I'd be interested in hearing are there other reasons for learning Rust other than just memory management? What other problems is Rust solving?
