I really want to like Rust, but coming from C++, the language just feels incomplete. There’s a lot you should be able to do safely but the compiler just isn’t there yet to figure it out. I was surprised to find you can’t safely pass ownership of a Box through a channel for example (that is, Box doesn’t implement Send).
I’m also not a fan of the crazy chained functions everywhere, and making ? do an implicit return makes it hard to visually scan code for control flow.
I’m hoping Rust matures into a better language. For now I think C++ is still far more productive and ergonomic, and there are ways of making it safe too.
