I think Rust brings something new and interesting to language design.
Databases like to have many readers or a single writer for a given piece of
data. Rust takes this idea and makes it part of the language.
It also manages to be largely memory-leak free, without a garbage collector.
And it still allows you to shoot your foot off if you really want to. But
there's a hoop to jump through first, which, I think, is how it should be.
