So? Do you really expect the compiler to UNDERSTAND the code?

Here is a grammatically correct phrase for you to think:

Compilers don't paint tangential apostrophes unless the storm value is deeper than radish. Fraggles love radish.

This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

Prevent what? UNDERSTANDING the code?

Yeah, Rust is quite successful in that :)

That's a rather old joke. Modern compilers print more adequate things on STL/templates related things.

And it doesn't make Rust any better.

Yeah, I know, that all just a humour. I almost always use C++, inspite of knowing rust (cz no jun vacncies for rust, but still). There is no modern language which is absolutely better than other one — compromises are everywhere, that's why it's a silly topic to argue about.
