This wasn't meant as a jab at Clojure (or Jank for that matter). That language and its ecosystem has heavily shaped and influenced me early on in my career to the point where I'm essentially writing Datascript in Rust (https://trible.space).

My point was that ownership has become a language feature that I expect, like lexical scope has become a language feature that most people expect.

It complements persistent immutable data-structures extremely well, especially in terms of performance via automatic transient-ication, and if you're operating in the native space I can't imagine that performance isn't on top of the list.

So in that sense, great language, please consider evolving beyond Clojure (archaic?) ownership model, because I'm pretty tired of Rusts bloated syntax and lovecraftian macro system.
