To me it's not really excitement so much as "oh god how do i make this ridiculous language do the correct thing".
I'm way more scared of rogue implicit copy constructors. I wonder if cppfront has any plan to fix problems like implicit copy and pessimising move.
In Rust, making something copyable is always explicit. I like that a lot.
Cpp should have done ref by default and had & for copy, but here we are.
That would defeat the goal of making it backwards-compatible with C.
