  1. I didn't like the way rust treats every little thing as an error, even when they're not. Like forcing snake_case for function names, not permitting extra parentheses or not allowing unused params. I don't like snake_case. I want to choose that stuff and not have the compiler put me into a straitjacket.

  2. He won't talk about C++.... why not? It can be used for system programming. In fact, it's probably the most widely used. C is also a great language, but C++ provides a lot more if you want it or if you need it. One can pick and choose. I use C++ more than C because e.g. I like that std::string is easier to use than C strings. Same for containers like map and vector etc. They already exist which saves time and they're less error prone than doing it all in C. But I'm not a C++ language lawyer. I use what makes sense.
