Rust – Faster compilation with the parallel front-end in nightly

I think a lot of it is that there was pent-up demand for a language like Rust.

Rust feels like the language that in 1990 I was promised I would have in the year 2000.

One of my more cherished scraps of notes dates from the 90s, when I tried (and miserably failed) to invent something much like Rust.

I've been waiting a long time for a language that's fast, safe and allows me to dabble in functional-style programming.

During those days I was quite happy with Turbo Pascal and Turbo Vision,...

At least Pascal syntax is fashionable again, across all newer languages.
