not a big fan of rust personally. I think it would be much smarter to bring borrow checking to C through annotations. That way we would not have to rewrite the whole world

I struggle to learn rust because the semantics and syntax are just so awful. I would love to be enthusiastic about rust, since every seems to love it, but I can't get over that hurdle. Backporting the features into C, or even just making a transpiler from C to rust that uses annotations would be great for me. But the rust community really does not seem interested in making stepping stones from other languages to rust.

I've personally become pretty fond of the syntax and incorporation of FP features. In all fairness though, I haven't written much C or C++ for the last two decades.

Rust incorporates some of my favorite features from FP with handy green thread ergonomics. I'm not a fan of Go, so this gives me a great option for microservices when I can avoid Node.js.

C++ already has much more of the required language constructs, which is why there is already an attempt to add borrow checking to C++ called circle. Until that standardizes, I wouldn't expect it in C.
