#Rust is funny for me. So in an attempt to fix the issues around manual memory management, and how it's a hard thing for humans to do well, they created a language where you have to set lifetimes, figure out the scope and do some really crazy syntactic mumbo-jumbo, resulting in at least as much confusion and difficulty as manual memory management, if not more. What are we winning here exactly?

Humans write code, not robots, not yet anyway, and yet we keep making it more complex.
