The dark side of Rust Language

Rust is an amazing language. If you follow my blog activity and know me in person you might know I'm really invested in rust on the last +12 months and also blogging a lot about Rust. Now I want to do something different. I do not want to paint a rosy picture of Rust. I do believe trade-offs matter and you only know something true when you know the cons. There are some problems I will expose in this blog post and not related to rust only but related in fact about two other factors. A) "New" languages. Rust has +10 years however still not mainstream and I still consider it a new language. B) New Paradigm / Approach - everything you deviate from standard C/OOP you will face resistance, I saw it happens a lot with other languages like Scala and Clojure. These problems happen in rust but I want to make it absolutely clear they are not unique to rust. So Let's get started, let's start with the Good things.
