Honestly man it just sounds like you have struggled with dynamic languages and by extension prefer static (compiled) ones. Which is totally fine you don’t have to like everything. But I do think you’re missing the real issue with “everything looks good.” It’s a lack of experience with the tool. It doesn’t matter if you’re using something as strict as Rust or dynamic as Lisp. “Everything looks good,” is always bad. You should know “this is how this works,” which is just not something a newbie can handle when they still don’t know the difference between pass-by-reference and pass-by-value (or that those words even exist!)
