Why is this getting downvoted? Please don't downvote if you disagree with this viewpoint. Rust has its reasons for is current form, which is OK! In general, the whole song and dance around GC is a hard problem.

I agree that the syntax is cryptic. I also think that programs are written by humans for human consumption (for accomplishing a certain task).

If you have a long term plan, you might want to factor in the talent pool, hardware cost, and tech debt. For your case, if that leads to Rust, so be it. Or if it means Python, that is fine too.



Likely because it's presented as a rebuttal to the article, when the article makes no such claim. It's a non-sequitur at best, and possibly a straw-man argument.
