So I just was quickly taking a look at Rust and I am blown away. I was wondering what yall thought about this programming language 
Rust Programming Language Pros and Cons

My favorite feature is probably the mix of how C++ and Java handle memory management/safety.
Edit: I'm still learning this language, and I'm not really sure what to write before I decide to go into game dev. Got any ideas?

Oh and BTW closures...just closures. I have passed functions before, but these are great...just great
Rust is a great language because it is a systems language in that it gives you the level of flexibility and control you get with a language like C or C++, but at the same time it is safe by default. Java is not a safe language, because it doesn't stop you from writing mistakes in the first place. Rust's type system with lifetimes and borrowing allows for a level of compile time safety that guarantees your code is memory safe, prevents leaks without using a GC, and eliminates runtime checks.
