> I can't comment on Go, but the textbook examples of Rust and even treatises on the subject from recognized experts in the computer science field (Adam Leventhal) show it to be an utterly overcomplicated language for which there should be a criminal trial and a prison sentence of several decades. Immutables, borrowing, no, I have to stop; my head hurts already, and I'm getting a migraine thinking about solving even the simplest of classic input-output problems with such an overly complicated language. (And my head wants to explode when I compare Rust with AWK for solving input/output problems, the biggest reason why computers were invented.)

The level of contempt for other people and utter lack of perspective shown by this comment makes my head want to explode.
