I gave Rust a good solid tryout.

It turned out to be insufficiently expressive to put into libraries the semantics I want to encapsulate. I went back to C++, and have been very happy. (It's also nice that lots of people want to pay to have it done.) As with Rust, I can write 2000 lines and, once it compiles, it works.

The hardest thing about going back to C++ from Rust was getting used to putting semicolons where Rust doesn't require them. Years later it still trips me.
