I agree that Rust has a lot of good ideas in it. The notion of ownership isn't far off my own way thinking about pointers when writing code with pointers in it, and I welcome any help from the compiler at avoiding my stupid mistakes, but if worse comes to worst, at least my mistakes are fixable. In the old days it would have been considered bad practice to postpone considerations of storage limitations to some future release, but maybe I'm just showing my age.
