I don't get this "future of programming" obsession Rust people have. Rust solves a couple memory safety issues when concurrency is involved, but GC is not. In exchange the language is not quite simple, portable or stable. Honestly a machine-oriented language should be barebones, and C compatible. Like Zig for example. You can roll your own memory safety when needed. One size does not fit all.
