I understand this sentiment, and maybe it’s true today. But there’s so much to like about @rustlang besides “no GC”! I think the ecosystem could mature to a point where choosing Rust for high-level applications makes sense. That’s my hope anyway.https://twitter.com/keleshev/status/936130454482309120 …

Agree. It can be reduced to "no GC" simply because there are so few worthy contenders within "no GC" that Rust wins in this area. But as soon as you go to "yes GC" you have languages like OCaml which are basically same as Rust, but with GC. Would you disagree?

Definitely agree. My experience with OCaml is limited though; I should really dig into it. But from what I understand, Rust steals a lot from OCaml. I guess my comment was not so much a direct counterpoint, but rather "maybe not today, but hopefully not never."

Rust’s initial implementation was in OCaml, so yeah, lots of influence :)
