Rust is neat, no doubt. And it's a huge improvement over C.... although that doesn't really count, because a cup of mouldy yogurt probably is better than C...
However, I don't build operating systems, embedded microcode or super-speed-critical things all that often. Duh.
If the need for that ever should occur, Rust will be my top candidate, with Go as a quasi-sort-of-system-language as a second candidate, if the usecase is applicable. Truth be told, contemporary quasi-system work is probably preferably done i
You're kidding, right? C/C++ are going to be the kings of low level development for a long time to come. I wouldn't even call Rust a mature language yet.
If I had a dollar for every language enthusiast who proclaimed their language was going to topple C, I'd be a wealthy man.
I really like D. I feel like it hits the sweet spot of where Rust is targeting, but feels much better designed. That said, I've only toyed with either.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
