I'm in way over my head and skimming comments to see what I can learn, so my question is a bit tangential: why can't everybody switch to Rust? Are you commenting on the difficulty of convincing everybody to rewrite their entire code-base or on some technical aspect of the language?
Thanks!
- jabl 11y agoWith the largish disclaimer that so far I'm quite a Rust n00b, I'm loving it so far! So per se I don't think there are any technical deficiencies in the language itself compared to C.
- omginternets 11y agoOkay, cool, that answers my question :) What resources are you using to get into Rust? I've been curious for a while, but I'm not sure where to start.
- jabl 11y agoNothing special I guess. Mostly the rust book and reference manual + duckduckgo search which bring up the odd blog post or SO question. But I think it depends a lot on your previous experience. If you have experience of other languages, particularly c/c++ and some functional style thing like Haskell there isn't that much of a mental barrier IMHO.
