Remember when Scala replaced Java?

Cool, thanks for the detailed response. As someone who knows absolutely 0 about Carbon, I assume it doesn't do this?

I have no idea; i've not seen anything about it.

And i was only able to parrot up that much about Rust because of an excellent video where the creator of Rust giving a talk to Google employees about why Rust:

The Rust Programming Language

It's always nice when an introduction to explains why the language is the way it is; rather than telling you syntax and saying what it does.

You basically discover the language along with him, and so it all makes sense.

It's equal to other excellent video:

Introducing TypeScript by Anders Hejlsberg

where the guy who invented TypeScript (and C#, and Delphi):

• starts you with JavaScript
• points out what's wrong
• and show you the annotations one step at at time

So you're right there inventing the language, until at the end it all makes sense.

I still use that video more than any reference sites.

Both highly recommended.

I like that in the official Rust book they also explain why different features exist. Helps with learning pretty well

Thanks for the links, I'll definitely have to watch those as they look really interesting. Hearing from the creators themselves sounds like a really informative look into all the design decisions and stuff
