I feel like it's just a matter of time.

Since someone managed to make an event based library in Rust, I don't think we need to stop at it.
As long as some of the problems with the borrow checker with large code-bases can be fixed, it should be usable for pretty much every application.

On the other hand, all we have done is changed the terms of "don't make it crash" to a simpler, "don't use unsafe". That, I feel, would eventually bring up similar problems in different ways from what we have now.

On the other, other hand, until my concentration becomes so bad that I am not able to handle my memory allocations, I will not stop using C++
