Re: "Apparently Telcos don't care about power consumption"
Time to learn a new language does cost money. However, difficult-to-find memory errors occurring in production code probably cost more money. I presume this is a motivation for using Rust, despite the difficulties in learning the language, and the oddities of its compile-time object lifetime checks.
I rather like Rust syntax, when compared to C++, which I am fairly familiar with. Rust has quite a few functional programming features built in at language level. In C++, these are largely bolted on to a procedural language core, which makes a functional programming style a bit clunky. I also like Rust's compile-time type inference, which makes code a bit neater than declaring everything.
