it's honestly pathetic that much of /g/ dislikes Rust. it's a fucking incredible language. there are some problems with it, but it offers Clojure-esque data transformation in a systems language. the most important part of any programming language is its data structures and abstractions over them, and Rust has this very figured out. I do wish Rust had a "association" trait so that BTreeMap, HashMap, and Vec could share some methods.
