Eul – The language

Do you know how often, if ever, Apple ever changes the syscall table other than to add to it?

That said, I don't think Rust is that complicated - it's just that a lot of the concepts it uses are unfamiliar to a lot of people and 'best practices' are not always set in stone because of that, which causes confusion - that's more of a maturity thing than anything else. Contrast with C++ (or C# or Java) which certainly is a complex language, but people aren't that confused by it because there are a wealth of books which prescribe the best ways to do things in any given scenario.

- Many apps for Elementary and other Gnome platforms are written in it

- oop

- properties/automatic getter,setter

- for each loops

- closures

- reference counting

- great compatibility with Gnome things

- interoperable with c

GTK example (from german wikipedia):

  using Gtk;
  
  int main (string[] args) {
      Gtk.init (ref args);
  
      var window = new Window ();
      window.title = "A simple GTK+ Program";
      window.set_default_size (300, 50);
      window.position = WindowPosition.CENTER;
      window.destroy.connect (Gtk.main_quit);

      var button = new Button.with_label ("Click me!");
      button.clicked.connect (() => {
      button.label = "Thanks!";
    });

      window.add (button);
      window.show_all ();

      Gtk.main ();
      return 0;
  }
