Well, it's nice on this side of the line.

There is no party line, and there is no tone. There are over 30 years of experience with C, not all of it pleasant, though most of it productive, and, comparatively speaking, amazing recent experiences with Rust. I do have to shift my thinking from how I would solve problems in C, because the memory management paradigm is so different, but, thanks in part to deep dives into scoping in other languages in pursuit of pernicious bugs, once I make that shift, problems are easier to solve in Rust: The language and the compiler, hand in glove, do a lot of the work for you.

You can carp all you like, and that is all it is, carping, not criticism, we'll just happily work along getting a lot done in less time.
