    Long but a very good blog post. I largely agree with all the conclusions and similarly wish Rust would go in a better direction with regards to certain features, especially compile-time reflection.

    I also sadly agree with the comments on the Rust leadership. My personal experience with contributing to Rust has not been great, though I haven’t tried very hard (but exactly because the initial feeling was not great).

      I feel like Rust is the initial implementation of a great language. It’s all there, but some of it feels harder to use than necessary.

      My wishlist includes reflection, easier to use generics, more approachable concurrency handling, and nicer string abstractions.
