Ever wrote a big program in python? Then you know it works at runtime. Not at compile time. Go comes with more typesafety while being a bit more verbose. Its a tradeoff.
- Filligree 11y agoAnd yet Rust has more type safety, while being more concise, more expressive and faster. Which is the article's point.
- oscargrouch 11y agoYes, but is less productive than go. You need more to express te same. Rust is like a phone with a lot of buttons and commands, give you more options and freedom of choice. Go is like a simple phone with very few buttons which has enough to enable you the real purpose of the phone, to make phone calls. Its just more pragmatic, and that doesnt make it a sin. Particularly, i like to have options.. its good we have them all, and we can choose the right tool for the job.
- commentzorro 11y agoRust forces you to care too much about memory and object ownership. These are too low in the weeds for business and web applications. (But wholly appropriate for a systems level language.)
- antod 11y agoI can't speak for the other poster, but I reckon someone who liked both Python AND Scala would have a pretty good handle on the pros and cons of different type systems.
