I looked at your other comments but couldn't see anything enlightening. I really enjoy Scala's type system and would love an excuse to learn Rust; what can Rust's type system do that Scala's can't? (I saw you mention an ORM; what additional safety could Slick gain if it were using Rust's type system?)

Rust has data-race-free concurrency. The compiler won't let you compile code that has data races unless you write "unsafe {}".

So Rust would be able to figure out that some transactions might be prone to rollbacks? What's the name of Rust's database library which does that?
