Forgive me, I didn't intend to be so argumentative. I genuinely want to understand. I'm trying to figure out if there are whole categories of use cases that I just don't have any exposure to.

As a side note: I keep trying Rust over and over again, and just can't get in to it. I think my brain just doesn't work that way. For my hobby project that needs super low level perf, I've moved a codebase from C, to Rust, and now to http://terralang.org/ and I'm finally quite satisfied with how the project is going.
