Thanks!

While this is true, those languages have stuff Rust doesn't as well. Take Ruby, for example: Rust doesn't have method_missing, or eigenclasses, or inheritance. "How do I know which method gets invoked" is much more complex.

Okay, I yield. I think you may be right. I've been thinking a lot about how I'll teach my children STEM topics and I've grappled with the idea of teaching Rust. One of the things I like about it is that you know the behavior at compile time, unlike Ruby or even C.
