I find it odd that they did not include Rust in their list of preferred languages. Rust is safer than C++ and Go.
- wyager 10y agoLots of things are safer than C++ and Go. Many just don't see as much use.
- conradev 10y agoI assume that's list of languages that are commonly used to host web services or power databases.
- blub 10y agoRust barely registers outside HN and a few other web gathering places. All those other languages have their niches and ecosystems and are safe enough.
- twic 10y agoThe thing that struck me about language choice was the list of also-rans: > very productive but not particularly well performing languages such as PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala, etc Which seems to be missing a certain more-productive-than-C++ and very well-performing coffee-themed language. I mean, you would never use Java for this, because although it could go fast enough, it would need way too much memory to do it. But i would have liked to see it dismissed for that reason rather than glossed over!
