    Rust. It’s a qualitative improvement over the old ways.

    The future won’t belong to Rust itself, but one of its descendants. Rust is too clunky to be the ultimate expression of its best ideas.

      What does Rust improve over its predecessors? The only really new thing is the borrow checker, which is only useful in very low-level programming.
