Another one:
- Generics in every language: Vector<MyType>()

- Rust:

Nope:
Vec<u32>::new();

This works:
Vec::<u32>::new();

And this ALSO works:
(Vec <u32)>::new();

So I can't use the universal language of: Vec<u32>::new();

But I can do (Vec <u32)>::new();

#Rust #rustlang

What kind of syntax is that? For the past 28yrs I used more than 12+ langs in every kind of project & the ugliest language I've seen is Rust.

Yes, EVEN UGLIER THAN ERLANG, at least Erlang is consistent and makes sense.

DREAM:
- Systems programming language w/ the safety of Rust
- a package manager
- the ecosystem/community size of Rust
- C/C++ tooling (debugger and LS)
- C/C++ interop
- ALL OF THAT with a Ruby-like syntax

The answer could be Crystal, but unfortunately it has a tiny tiny ecosystem and Windows is a 2nd class citizen and Crystal has probably the slowest compiler on Earth.

Nim is probably the answer (it's Pascal-like), but Nim loses on tooling.

Other suggestions?
