"The central failure of the language is the myopic focus on the 
affine typing solution to heap allocation and thread safety. The 
creators do not seem to realise that other solutions already 
exist, and that dynamic memory allocation is not the only safety 
issue a programmer has to cope with."

Interesting that the author's criticism of Rust lines up very 
closely with Andrei's.
