Seems like it’ll be a perfect match for rust then

In my experience, the patterns Rust makes explicit are usually worth reconsidering and replacing. Further, it makes other common patterns more compact than in other languages: e.g. `std::fs::read()` vs the abomination with ByteInputStream and IOReader or whatever from Java, and I believe C++ makes it non-trivial either

I mean I’d rather use default parameters and named arguments then make a dozen enums or macros and structs to pass into a function. Look at polars and bevy, rust makes things hideous. It’s a great language for writing rust and not actually making something.
