Lets see after you try a big project in Rust, if you come back with the same appreciation.

Most of the times i think is a overburden, I know people like Haskellers like to suffer and are masochistic coders, and may like this, but i dont.. already have to deal with C++, and Rust did achieve the impossible.. Its even more over-enginnered than C++, and its not even faster




IME, us "masochists" suffer much less in the end. We "suffer" a few seconds here and there when we get a compiler warning, forcing us to think edge cases through.

Then, later, we suffer much less through runtime debugging, QA, and get a lot less calls at 2AM.

Can you explain more about what you mean by 'over-engineered' here?

> and its not even faster

We are faster sometimes, and we haven't even put time into optimizing things. We're also slower sometimes.


I think you should replace 'time' with 'a lot of time'. I've seen several commits that optimize things.


You mean a large project like Servo, or large project like Rust compiler itself?
