Rust Never Sleeps

Sorry, for the title, but I’m a big Neil Young fan, so I couldn’t miss the opportunity.

Over the past few months, I’ve been learning Rust, and I hated it initially, but now think it is the best language and environment I have ever come across. This feeling is echoed by a recent survey that put Rust at the top of the most loved computer languages (and which has been there for the past six years) [here]:

And the most dreaded include COBAL, VBA, Perl and C:

So, why Rust for me? Well, although I use Python a great deal, I have never really liked its syntax, and it has also been caused many problems in moving from Version 2 to Version 3. I must admit that I have to look-up on the Internet every time I need to do a simple for() statement. It can also be fragile in building applications and is not great in terms of its version control. While I like the way it deals with big numbers, it just seems to hide away a little too much control that C would give me.
