      Rust is heresy. Everything should be mutable, the way that God intended it to be!

      Seriously though as someone who has mainly done embedded work for decades and got used to constrained environments, the everything is immutable paradigm seems clunky and inelegant. I don’t want to copy everything all the time.

      Now if you’ll excuse me, these null pointers aren’t going to dereference themselves

        Yeah. Putting my old man crankiness aside, for a moment, I adore goLang. GoLang is like having a youngest grandchild. It can do whatever it wants and I’ll praise it.

          I literally learned it over a one week vacation. The only other language that comes close to being that easy to learn is Python. I often tell folks, if C and Python had a baby, it would be GoLang.
