That's not what I'm saying. I want rust, but with the simplicity of go. I want a compiler that's super portable and it itself compiles in a few minutes. I want a straightforward build system that doesn't leave me confused. I want less language features.

I also want a more lightweight syntax but beggars can't be choosers.

You can only add so many constraints to a problem until it becomes unsolvable.

It's like saying "I would like to have a non-volatile storage device that is as long-lasting as microfilm, as fast as an SSD and as cheap as a HDD." At some point, you have to renege on at least one of your constraints.

Fair point, but I don't think my constraints are _that_ extreme. I think it's doable, but we'll never know unless someone seriously attempts it.

What language features would you like to take away from Rust?
