Right, I walked that path before, even shiny R7RS, and I'm glad I went to speech therapy for my lisp.

In all seriousness, though, I'm not here to invalidate your experiences with Rust. While I've been using D for quite a bit now, I get to experience some pretty uncomfortable cognitive dissonance doing so. I still love it, but D often times offers a slightly less performant and reliable way to tackle a certain set of hard problems. Even if I never get to experience Rust professionally, I'm still quite happy that it set a new baseline for safe languages to come and evolve to.
