This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I’m still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

    I agree with you about the tradeoffs that C# and Java make to gain ease of use at the cost of memory use. In a lot of cases that’s a fine tradeoff. It doesn’t matter much too me whether an indy game needs a little more memory. I’ll also agree that C is going to be less safe than Rust (and Java, C#). But I still think it’s an easy language to iterate in. It’s a very simple language.
