> I kind of think some other language will come along, take the borrow checker, take all the type conveniences that Rust stole from OCaml that make Rust so nice, glue it all to a Python/Go/dotnet style fat stdlib, complete with an optional GC for all the things that don't actually need bare metal performance (just stick an arena in stdlib), and Rust will feel like a clunker by comparison.
That'd be a dream to me.
