Rust fanatics down voting you, grr grr.

I agree Zig is the real next thing that make sense.

Rust is for those kids doing their collage with cargo...

After all, cargo is based on npm and their ecosystem is very similar. You don't code, you get a crate instead (with all the dependencies that come with it).

You want to if (x ==1) ? Pfffttt, use that crate instead!

It's a top 10 downloaded crate FYI.

The Rust crowd is annoying but I gotta give them one thing:

Rust was a game changer...

But I feel like we need more elegant solutions to complex problems. Go is a good example of that but it's not low-level enough I think and has no enum (that's not super good to use)
