Funny - I first heard of this earlier this week. Biggest issue I see with rust is that it seems like it has joined the every-language-needs-its-own-package-manager club, and it seems to me that it really encourages static linking. The build system doesn't seem particularly distro-friendly, let alone source-based distro-friendly. However, I have only spent about an hour learning about rust, so I'm certainly interested if others know better. I really like the concept though. ADA has always been on my list of things I'd love to spend time on someday, and Rust seems to be a more modern take on the concept. -- Rich
