Rust 1.17
I was interested in learning Rust as a safer alternative to C a few years back, and have been observing its progress from afar. I&#x27;m much less optimistic about it now, though I only have a layman&#x27;s understanding of it. The language seems to be more cumbersome to write than many other languages due to its design choices. It may be safer, but not as &quot;ergonomic&quot; subjectively, which ultimately affects productivity. It&#x27;s hard to think of a good reason to use it, other than the safety features.
