You say that but I will never use Rust because of it's awful syntax, I'll stick with C/C++ and be happy and not miss out on anything. I don't know much about erlang so I have no comments on it.

Oh, that's very interesting. Rust tried to match C++'s syntax as much as possible.

Which parts do you find awful? Lifetimes and trait bounds?

I mean, you do you. No one is judging. The fact remains that Rust exists primarily because there are some features that C++ cannot reasonably provide

		It could eventually provide some, if Safe C++ (nee Circle) proposal had gotten a warm welcome by the WG21 committee unfortunately they rather go with the mythical profiles approach. Not only didn't they made it into C++26, it isn't clear what could land in C++29, this ignoring the assumptions regarding capabilities that static analysers are yet to provide nowadays.

		Rust exist because people have skill issues. Same deal with typescript.
