Rust started as a personal project in 2006
My wishlist is something that is essentially coffeescript for rust, basically rust without semicolons or the borrow checker. The ruby syntax is not specifically important, but generally desirable. Ideally it would transpile individual files directly to rust with a GC or RC boilerplate sprinkled into it, then run the full rust compiler.<p>Nim and Crystal are nice, but are not rust under the hood.<p>This would open rust up more to smaller brained devs like me who can't do full rust full time. I think it's generally underestimated how valuable this would be to establishing the rust utopia we all want to see.
