On: Was Rust Worth It?

[Ygg2]

C# is fine, but it feels like a slightly better Java, just without the huge ecosystem of libraries.

[Rapzid → Ygg2]

Slightly... The difference in type erasure is pretty huge IMHO.

But what libraries are you lacking?

[Ygg2 → Rapzid]

Type reification is planned and so is value types.

And type erasure isn't as negative as you seem to make it.

Bunch of really obscure use cases - fluent localization, roaring bitmaps and so on.
