What's Good
Memory safety without garbage collection. The borrow checker catches bugs at compile time. Performance matches C/C++. The tooling (cargo, rustfmt, clippy) is excellent.
The Catch
The learning curve is steep. Compile times are slow. Fighting the borrow checker is frustrating at first.
Verdict
The systems language for the next decade.
