Covering your weapons in mirrors is stupid and impractical. The "just put mirrors on everything LOLZ" trope your kind always trots out doesn't become more feasible just because you're naive enough to keep repeating it.

Defense is always more expensive that offence. It's easier to break things. That's why being wealthy is important to self preservation.

Hillary et al tell us we deserve more bennies and the "rich" need to pay their "fair share"... and the rest is so much noise from the `vast right wing conspiracy' that goes in one ear and out the other. As long you can stand there and tell people they deserve things they know they don't you can do anything you want. All else is forgiven.

Go ahead obummer, veto it. Your low information constituency is oblivious in any case, but at least you can have your spokesfuck tell us how you protected us from the evil capitalist pigdogs.

Good thing the brilliant Great Leaders of Argentina banned gold trading almost three years ago. No wonder their economy is the pride of South America. They've applied their benevolent justice to thwart every scheme those dirty capitalists have attempted!

You're exhibiting some reading comprehension problems.

Google has not stated that outside contributors must not use exceptions. They declare:

The "We" in that is inclusive. Google themselves "do not use C++ exceptions." They also elaborate on exactly why they themselves do not use exceptions.

There is no reason to interpret the Mozilla policy as applying only to outside submissions either. Unless, of course, this is not to your liking and you invent fictional reasons.

Cite some. How you know this about non-publicly facing policies is an interesting question.... but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt if you do, remembering that others around here might call you on it if your claims aren't correct.

And Microsoft doesn't count. They've integrated their deviant compiler with their proprietary OS according to their own questionable design and vertical implementation.

It's all lies. Argentina has no reason to seek alternatives; they have a fair, equitable socialist government that would never manipulate its fiat currency to raid savings.

We must outlaw these robber baron digital schemes right away. These digital currencies are a threat to The Good and the Great's ability to provide the fair and just governance the people of the world deserve.

Islamic "scholars" and Islamist apologists opining about the meaning of Jihad. They and Benny Hinn have approximately the same credibility.

That whole page is the worst piece of weasel word riddled crap I've ever seen on Wikipedia.

Multiculty claptrap straight out of The Guardian. "some scholars argue" and "clearly appears."

The only one on your list that actually worries me is the compile times.

It's explicitly not a goal to produce the most concise language possible. It's not a competitor of Haskell/Ocaml/F#/etc., and it doesn't need to be to succeed. Cargo is a build system for a beta language.... fixable. Slow regex isn't inherent to the language.

But if Rust suffers Scala like compile times then yeah, that's bad. Compile time matters.

I'll limit myself to the 286 word (!) summary and not RTFA — because Damn! — that's bad enough.

What makes Rust safe is language design that permits that code to be analyzed. Costly C++ code analyzers that hardly anyone actually uses can't match Rust's built-in, for-free, automatic analyzing compiler because the C++ language itself precludes this.

The rest of the first paragraph amounts to `Rust isn't necessary because C++ is improving.' Anyone that's been watching C++ develop for the last 30 years knows there are both technical and political limitations to how much C++ can ever improve and some people can't wait another 30 years to get halfway there.

Then we get into this drivel;

Decent? C++ has `decent' inheritance? I'd be surprised if the author actually understood C++ inheritance. I know most C++ programmers don't. Rust spaces that '80s OO crap and gives you a clean, simple system of traits. You're not limited in any way by that design unless you're employed to write FAQ answers and blog posts about the subtleties of mis-designed C++ OO.

As for C++ exceptions; here is Mozilla's policy on C++ exceptions: "do not use try/catch or throw any exceptions." Here is Google's policy on C++ exception's: "We do not use C++ exceptions." C++ exceptions are broke. Full Stop. These people understand this. The author doesn't.

If the lack of C++ inheritance and C++ exceptions are the best you can come up with to disparage Rust then sign me up for Rust.

The Ebola River for which the disease is named is sensitive and doesn't like having horrible diseases named after it.

The best policy is to simply not name these sort of things until they appear in a Western nation somewhere. The media could refer to Ebola, for instance, as the Unidentified Tropical Wasting Syndrome until a nurse in Texas catches it, at which point may be named the Dallas Hemorrhagic Fever, or DHF.

Far more equitable and highly unlikely to incur the wrath of WHO.

Yeah, I've noticed how everything written in Java, C# and PHP are brilliantly fast and bug free.
