I'm of the opinion that Rust's popularity will quickly die
when people realize it's a pain to use.
Horses for courses ? Eg for Andy Smith's problem of processing
trade information of tens of gigs where Python was choking, I
guess nobody in their right mind would use Rust.
I don't think there is much difference between C, D or Rust in
terms of computing. The core semantics are similar. With Rust you
have the additional option of linear type checking.
But Rust programmers of course want to use idiomatic linear
typing as much as possible and that makes designing graph-like
structures a challenge.
