Anyone using Rust?

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.

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??

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

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

maybe I am just old but I don't get the confusion. it could be that I spent a large part of my career in c/c++ and dealing with pointers was just something that I did. what I used to regularly carry with me on tool belt of code tricks was code for doing smart pointers[^]. this has to be one of my most favorite patterns. :-D

No, but they seem to freak a lot of people out.

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.
