Anything you used to make in C, C++, C# and Typescript

Just wrap it in unsafe tags and you can accomplish the same things you can already do in any other language!

Excuse me but, can Rust even give me undecipherable Lore Ipsums of diagnostics at the same level that C++ can? If not, it's not even a competition.

This may be cheating but yes, sometimes there are cycles in type/generic definitions and the compiler loops their identifiers over and over, nesting them inside each other

You are almost inspiring me to go see this live.

But be noted it's really not a drop-in replacement language for C-derived languages. It's more like OCaml with curly brackets.

Yes of course. But there is nothing you can't do. Only thing that may retain some of you is tooling that wasn't ported
