I have only skimmed the surface of learning Rust, but I am wondering what it has over Ada. The memory safety features that Rust emphasizes have been standard there for 40 years, and just as unglamorous compared to C++.

I tend to focus on scripting nowadays... R and Pyrhon... with the odd C++ for high-speed algorithms because it is popular. But is Rust merely a new face on Ada?

From what I understand, Ada does not have an equivalent to Rust's borrow checker. There's efforts to replicate that for Ada, but it's not there yet.

Thanks for the helpful response. The BC looks like a potentially very useful anti-bugging tool.
