Alexander is a member of our primary demographic, and it is immensely valuable to get real-world feedback on how C++ users will receive the language when employing it for non-trivial projects. If there is a misunderstanding over some of Rust's features, then it is a documentation deficiency that needs to be addressed. The fact that Alexander took the effort to post this here at all shows that he wants to understand the language, not to bash it. If only every blogger was so considerate! So thank you, Alexander. I hope that you found Rust enjoyable despite its current rough edges! I'd love it if you kept an eye on the language as it develops, and I'd be delighted to read a follow-up post incorporating the feedback from here and from reddit.
