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.
