Compared to what ? Community designed languages like D, Nim, w/e - no dispute here. But corporately backed languages such as C#, F#, Swift, TypeScript, Kotlin - not really. I guess it's fair since Rust is middle ground - sponsored by Mozilla but not getting the level of investment as the others mentioned.
- rkangel 10y agoI think that's the point. Lots of community languages leave the tooling to the community, which only works if your language gets adopted (and doesn't help it to get adopted). Rust is a community language (admittedly with the organisational backing of Mozilla), but is driving the whole ecosystem.
