What are Rust’s biggest weaknesses?

   RFCs for changes to Rust

   

   I've noticed a trend for introducing RFCs that attempt to make Cargo's feature system more complicated. Here is the most recent one I've seen, but there have definitely been others, and they all seem to be solving problems with default-features=false.

   Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

   

   @haruda_gondi would having type inference on defaults be the solution you're thinking of? Or am I misunderstanding your issue?

4. polonius

   Defines the Rust borrow checker.

   

   The borrow checker is too dumb (https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius) fixes a lot of this.

5. tao

   4 11 1,111 7.7 Rust

   A statically-typed functional language with generics, typeclasses, sum types, pattern-matching, first-class functions, currying, algebraic effects, associated types, good diagnostics, etc. (by zesterer)

   

   I've personally found through my experiments working on my language Tao that having effects be a property of the return value and not the function itself is very useful and opens up a lot of doors, like iterators that generate effectful values and more precise control over when side effects occur and in what context.

6. rust-orphan-rules

   5 11 205 0.0

   An unofficial, experimental place for documenting and gathering feedback on the design problems around Rust's orphan rules

   

   Not that simple... hence why Orphan rule is still in-place. The struct wrapper was implemented in Rust as a temporary safe work-around. However, they are making progress on a solution: https://github.com/Ixrec/rust-orphan-rules/issues/1
