Something I’m genuinely curious about with people who really like Rust, and want it to be used for everything. If you had a say, which way of the programming ecosystem developing would you personally prefer, and why? Like, if Go or C++ started developing features similar to Rust, like a borrow checker and better compile time error checking, would you see that as a good thing that other languages are getting the same benefits of Rust? What about other organisations started making new programming languages with similar benefits as Rust? Or would you rather that none of those happened and everything that wants Rust’s benefits just converged to using Rust?

    Rust is very good. I like it. However I don’t want other programming languages adopt an exact paradigm as rust. While effective it is vert difficult. The level of “I can’t concatenate two string” difficult. So still having lax languages around would help a lot.
