The OSes want programmers to handle resources correctly, and the Rust compiler makes that task a breeze. We are in a more abusive relationship with our OSes, than the Rust compiler. How about the hardware? Doesn't that need to run assembly in a correct way? That counts as an abusive relationship as well.

Rust's error messages are one of a kind. There no other compiler which comes even close.

As a side note, i used latex lately, it's error messages are horrendous. What a nightmare to figure out what's wrong by inspecting the error.

Rustc is so good I learnt a lot about the language by just reading errors.
