As someone who's written code at one time or another in C, C++, Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, GLSL, PHP, JavaScript, Pascal, Oz, Java, Salsa, i386 assembly, PIC12 assembly, MIPS assembly, x86-64 assembly, ARM assembly, Prolog, Bash, VBScript, DOS batch files, FEI AutoScript, CMake, and even a few dozen lines of Python years back...
I can confidently say Rust is alien technology.
Maybe one day I'll grok it but today I feel like I sat down in front of a Klingon PC and tried to understand what it was doing.
People say learning an HDL as a software person is a brain twister? This is 10x more confusing than Verilog was.
