I never expected this
a screenshot of Rust PR #155499 to stabilize the never type, showing it was merged 2 hours ago

heh
Screenshot of a list of three header files in a github repo. One of the files, updated last year, shows a commit message of "memory safety or whatever".

Loving the way the Rust survey team throws shade
Screenshot from State of Rust survey results that says:

Great language design take. Model your problem space correctly, then seek ways to simplify interactions with your model.
Seeking simple is just not the right move to me. To me, a more robust approach is ensuring people can’t shoot themselves, while seeking simpler. Simpler doesn’t mean simple; it means that you design a solution, whatever the complexity, and tries to make it as simple as possible. Rust is honestly not that hard, but it is definitely not a simple language. However, for all the problems it solves at compile-time, it’s definitely simpler than all other approaches (e.g. ATS). And it’s not unlikely that it will get simpler and simpler as we discover new ways of expressing language constructs.
