I wonder how far it can be implement in Rust? There are people trying:

  Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions

  

One thing that drew me to Rust was actually Elixir/Erlang calling out to it for certain specialized needs. Within Elixir/Erlang you get best of breed concurrency but exiting the BEAM to run other code is unsafe. Calling out to Rust, however, comes with great safety guarantees.

Managing concurrency outside of Rust and then calling Rust for the more focused and specialized work is a good combination IMO.

  garbage collection

It'd be possible to add an active GC to Rust. There are some library attempts at that:

- https://lib.rs/crates/gc

- https://github.com/withoutboats/shifgrethor

But they don't look particularly usable.

Beyond that, yeah, it sucks.
