Whilst you are unlikely ever to catch me within a light year of Rust, I do agree with your substantive point - that amagicality is not a good reason to reject a programming technology. I must, however, take issue with your word 'all' in your last sentence. To invalidate it only takes one death caused by a seatbelt that prevents a wearer from escaping a fatal crash (eg burning or drowning). -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within
