I think most server type software can trade off the borrow checker for a GC while still benefiting from other Rust stuff.

IMO there's still need for a higher level Rust where you don't need that last 20% of the performance and control.

Some people say that OCaml is the high level rust, but I think it's got a lot of gaps which rust doesn't.

Where OCaml lost me was the packaging and building story. Dear Lord am I spoilt by Cargo.

Nice language otherwise.

Are you referring to dune (building) and/or opam?
Yeah absolutely. Cargo is one of the highlights of Rust. Completely no nonsense.
