That is a great link. The point at the end about making the language embeddable is actually one of the things I love about Rust the most. Rust is aggressively cross platform and I appreciate that a lot. Write a parser in Rust once, run it everywhere.

I’d use Swift a lot more (which has some of the features mentioned in the article) if the resulting code wasn’t limited to Apple OSes (the Linux support is crap). Or perhaps Kotlin if it wasn’t limited to the JVM, etc.
