This article only covers the code. For the projects I work on (mostly C++ and/or C#), about 50% of decisions I make while coding is about data, not code.

IMO, Rust just not good enough for creating complex specialized data structures.

Even a trivial tree is hard to implement in Rust, and the implementation will be severely limited: https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-forest

D surely has it’s problems as well (in short, I think the language itself is very good, but its runtime and libraries still need a lot of work), but at least it’s good for complex data structures.
