@waltercool Rust is absolutely a 90s language that took a bit too long to figure out right.

@sun @waltercool so do a lot of other languages. This is not new. The only new thing in Rust is the use of affine types, a feature that was invented and studied in the 90s.

The thing is, popular programming languages lag behind the research by around 20 years. This is why, for one, OOP - aka a hip feature from the 70s - really took off in the 90s with Java.
