Devil’s advocate here : i think it’s due to the promise rust makes that borrow checkers prevent you from writing unsafe code or race conditions, as well as high level abstractions with zero performance cost.

That set of promises really would make any programmer go crazy i think, and become a zealot.

Rust is definitely on my todo list, i’m just waiting for the language to mature a little bit more, because some edges still seem a git rough. But i am extremely enthusiastic about it.
