@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.

@sun @waltercool ask me around 2046, if software engineering even survives as an occupation.

But I'd look at hardcore richly typed languages inspired by Rust and Haskell and their progeny. Lean looks promising, for one.
