You're welcome. I sorta kinda agree on the safety thing; I wrote a blog post that kind of kicked off a whole discussion about this a while back; https://brson.github.io/fireflowers/ is a really beautiful summary of all of that.

That was a wonderful read.

After 20 years of C++ and about the same number of hours of Rust, Rust makes me feel like Fire Mario because when I come to do a strict correctness and memory efficiency pass after writing something - it’s already correct. I suspect this will have a compound interest-like effect, similar to good code coverage empowering change.
