I just read a nice article called “Comparing Rust and Java”, well worth a read:
https://llogiq.github.io/2016/02/28/java-rust.html
Although Rust is not mature enough yet for my tastes it offers many things that I enjoy a lot in Java, especially when it comes to holding my hand in avoiding mistakes. Recently I dabbed (again) into C and C++ for a while and did some learning but it’s just too easy to make untraceable mistakes in those languaes for me.
Do any of you feel attracted to Rust for the same reason?
