Yeah. As a non-Rust developer I was reading the post with some interest and a little sympathy until I saw his timeline.
"Right, so they've been working on this potential change since 2016, and...wait. 2016?!"
If he'd said 2014 or earlier, I'd consider him to have a point. 2015 is asking for a bit too much, but I can still see his frustration; I'd call that a wash. But 2016? It destroyed his credibility with me, because it's clear he has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to developing a programming language.
I know that sounds harsh but...man. He's leaving Rust because they're taking more than six months to implement a massive change to a core language mechanic? Have fun working with absolutely any other language ever.
- indolering 10y agoYeah, most of criticisms I've seen of Rust (ergonomic issues, benchmarks, compile time, even integer overflow) will be dealt with in time. 1.0 means that Rust is stable but lacking features.
- andars 10y ago> Traits as a concept have been part of the language for numerous years. It's currently September 2016. Reads to me like he is disappointed that they didn't start the process sooner and have just recently started to discuss a solution.
