I tried Rust with Iron as the article mentions but JSON parsing and writing wacky match expressions turned me off to Rust early on.

- dikaiosune 11y agoOut of curiosity, how long ago was that? I've found that over the last 2-3 months (I started tinkering around 1.4), the ecosystem has already become quite a bit better.
- rubyfan 11y agoAbout 6 months ago I think. It was pre-1.0 and yes some things weren't fully mature. Maybe I'll give it a whirl again soon. I was initially excited about Rust because it appeared to achieve system programming language performance and stability with application programming language expressiveness. The nature of static typed languages doesn't allow for things like first class lazy JSON serde. Java, C, C++, C# all have the same issue. In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge deal if performance is #1 but I value my enjoyment level while coding.
