Worst Rust feature by far.

I understand how Rust solves some problems and these are indeed very important ones. But it still is a constraint that has to prove itself.

C is horrible, out of the question. Really dated too without thousands of band aids. C++ has millions of those. But why not start re-implementing stuff in Rust if that is so close to your heart?

We can also reimplement everything in JavaScript. It is memory safe too. Wait, where is the enthusiasm now?

Look at js package stats - that's exactly what's happening. Many of apps and packages created today in js would be created in C/C++ few years ago. People who learn programming today don't know what C/C++ is. If they need something low-level, it's Rust.
