    Call me a weirdo but the more errors a compilers give me the happier (albeit a bit frustrated) I am. That stuff generally surfaces in a way or another… and I prefer at compile time 🙂

    That said I haven’t spent quality time with Rust yet… so not sure if there are a lot of nitpicks (ala go) or these are valgrind-level of “holy s*** I am so grateful to this tool” 😃

      The borrow checker makes things a bit more complicated to get running, definitely takes some getting used to when you come from a non-memory safe language. But the compiler is really helpful throughout almost all mistakes, often directly providing an explanation and a suggested fix. One of my favorites programming experiences so far
