The language is not fucked up. Come back to Rust in 40 years and see what has become of it if it still not Cobol type legacy. Also I do not think you can compare it to C++, it is too limited for that in my opinion. I would rather consider it as "fixed" C that satisfies some safety constraints.

What is fucked up is us not being perfect machines and not producing ideal design from the first try and then having to deal with compatibility. Well duh.
