My favorite part about this survey is that for many of the questions there is a majority agreement. Many developers believe that tooling needs to improve or that crates should work with stable features.
I think this is great for the Rust team going forward knowing that they will act on it.
- steveklabnik 10y agoA component of this that's also nice is that there weren't any real surprises: if you had asked me what needs to improve, I would have said the same thing the survey did overall. So it was really cool/nice to see our suspicions confirmed, and knowing that we are already working on some of this stuff.
- kartD 10y agoIt's early days for Rust, there will be general agreement on what needs work because it's usually obvious and everyone has roughly the same experience with the language. I feel the difficulty comes when the language ages and the most apparent problems have been tackled. Take Python, what's needed: async ? GIL fix ? more functional? faster execution?
- kibwen 10y ago> async ? GIL fix ? more functional? faster execution? Three out of these four boil down to "this isn't fast enough", which makes it seem as though the Python community is unified in understanding the problems it faces. :P
- kartD 10y agoThis could also be because of my limited knowledge of the Python community :P
