"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?

While I do totally see the advantages of rust and agree skill is not a solution given people make mistakes...I do agree a lot of the very vocal rust advocates do act almost religious and it is an annoying turn off.

We had the Java guys in year 2000, at least Rust seems to be a decent language.

Java was created so that teams of intermediate skill programmers could maintain large, long-lived code bases. And it did its job incredibly well.

If that is not your use case (or you do not want to admit that you are such a programmer), it may not be your favourite language.

I always like C# far better. It may be my favourite language overall. It has a bit more headroom and was designed somebody far more skilled. But it was designed to compete directly with Java. So, you know who it was built for.
