while language difficulty and complexity are top concerns.
That's now... wait a couple of new versions... then they will not be "top concerns" but "top reasons for abandoning"
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Rumors abound that a new library/IDE for Rust called "Corrosion," that reeks of AI, will blow all other languages/IDE's away.

New Windows 11 build ships with more Rust-based Kernel features[^] I see Rust replacing C++ in a lot of usage scenarios going forward.
Quote:
Microsoft announced that the latest Windows 11 build shipping to Insiders in the Canary channel comes with additional Windows Kernel components rewritten in the memory safety-focused Rust programming language. Rust is seen as a safer alternative to C and C++ due to its memory safety improvements which help prevent common issues such as null pointer dereferences, buffer overflows, and dangling pointers that could lead to system crashes and security breaches. It also enforces rigorous rules for concurrent programming, mitigating data race conditions where multiple threads concurrently access and modify shared data, thus allowing developers to write concurrent code that is secure and free from data races. This is critical for Kernel processes as memory bugs could allow attackers to execute commands at the highest privilege levels in Windows. Therefore, securing them with a memory-safe programming language would be a priority for Microsoft.
