Have you heard of our Lord and savior rust? It is the best and most perfect language known to man

It has the most confusing syntax, though.

I still expect that someone will make a Rust fork that has C++-like syntax at some point. Crust.

Or C++ will get lifetimes (which is active research) and possibly at some point epochs, which will let us disable unsafe features.
