Maybe but:
- Move fixes Pin
- Linear types, prevent memory leaks
- potentially effects simplify so many things
Each of these functionalities unlock capabilities people have complained about Rust. Namely async, gen blocks, memory leaks.
Yes. The appalling level of ignorance in the comments here and failure to understand the article is disturbing and a little scary ... hopefully it won't get in the way of actually simplifying and unifying the language, generalizing special cases, removing limitations and roadblocks, etc. as outlined in the article.
