      Don’t 99% of people don’t need the efficiency boost of not having a garbage collector. Instead learn a Functional Programming Language like Scala, OCaml or F#

        Or both? Functional languages are good to be familiar with, but so is Rust’s strict ownership model. Both lead to better code in all languages.

        It’s not only the efficiency boost. What about safe concurrency? Or about the tooling - does sbt really compare favorably to cargo? (I’d say “no”, having used both over multiple years)
