@cybergazer @onlinepersona But, since you asked for a counterargument, here is a powerful one regarding memory safety.

@cybergazer @onlinepersona However, you should know that it's OK to not like a language.

If your focus is on prototyping things, Rust very likely isn't the langauge you want. That doesn't mean Rust is designed for programmers to waste time with needless tinkering... It means you want to move faster than Rust allows.

Frame it from the POV of feeling Rust's detail keeps you from the speed you want, and no one would call you junior, because you wouldn't have insulted them and their choices.

The tricky thing about your post is that it reads like this: I found the language difficult. I dont know why Rust made the choices it made, therefore it was probably because all programmers love wasting time with unnecessary detail. Also, I can't build things quickly in this language.

Rust clearly isn't solving the problems you care about, but your post makes all kinds of assumptions about why, and the assumptions are wrong. So your post reads like a tantrum.
