    Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details

    It's a Mozilla backed language and I can't help but think the world does not need another programming language. However, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's been playing with it.

        Nope! Looks like F# for Mozilla though.

          aside from being a new language what is it's purpose? to create something simpler to work vs C/C++? getting kind of burned on all of these new languages trying to create a simpler c/c++. are pointers really that much of a problem to deal with?

          you want something inspirational??

              Anyone who designs a modern computer language that shortens "not immutable" to "mut" doesn't get my vote.

              - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                Nope, but I think they should have gone a little further and named the language Trust. :cool: Soren Madsen

                  OR for a language design to wrap other code they could have called it Crust.

                    If they're cocky, they could have gone with Struts.

                      Raw pointers? yeah Standard Library resource managers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr? no, those are quite simple.

                          Steel yourself... Here it comes... It'll certainly test your mettle. (That took a lot of brass) OK, I'm done.

                              Like most computer languages, it's silly. Start a project with it and then try hiring someone to help or replace you. Moreover, without a rich library or framework, it has even less of a point.

                                But once you make a smart pointer, they stop being raw pointers and become far less frightening ;P The problem isn't the pointers per se, but rather their indiscriminate use everywhere.
