Fighting with the compiler just means you have the wrong frame of thinking. Once you learn how to express things in ways that are verifiably safe, there is no fighting because you’ll get it mostly correct the first time.

I agree, but I think you should then look at SPARK2014 [1]. Rust just has better marketing and a bigger company behind it, but SPARK2014 is simpler and has been delivering Rust's bullet list for almost 10 years.

Why on earth did they add 2014 to the name? It’s like putting an expiry date on it before it even takes off.

It is more a version thing, and I always put it in the name to differentiate from Apache's Spark. That and the all-uppercase letters.
