Uncovered note on my desk from conversation about rust's state in rustboot era:
"""
Obstacles:
- bad closures
- bad object model
- generics / monomorphization
- x64 port / x86-isms
- stack growth (doubling vs. chaining)
- FFI bad / inefficient
- effect polymorphism / kind system
- LLVM semantics
-> C linkage is flat
-> tail calls no good
-> frames out of control (fixed frame size, no unwind, gc)
"""
SO CUTE!
