Rust

This is off-topic, but this category sounded like the best fit for a specific language question! Sorry.

Ivan, I’m almost done with the talks. They’re very informative.

I heard you say repeatedly that you’re a software guy so I wanted to ask you what’s your opinion on the Rust language effort by Mozilla. Particularly both its memory-safety / automatic memory management features (ownership and borrowing) and its support of fairly nice HLL feature as tagged unions and closures while targeting an ABI that’s very close to C.
