To be honest that doesn't seem too convincing for a new language. It actually reminds me of the early dogmatism of Java which today is often seen as too restrictive.

Rust makes an argument about safety but only for a select few types of errors and the cost seem rather high.



It brought a discipline to my memory/variable management and functional problem solving, as Haskell brought a discipline in my typeful thinking some time ago. I don't claim it's "the best language for all use cases" but I'm glad I'm learning it.
