Armin might like Rust but that doesn't mean that's why it was chosen in this case. In fact the article provides a reason: they already had a Rust library for source maps and that is a very good reason to go with Rust.
More generally though you're being unfair by not even seriously considering the option that there could be a legitimate reason. Also you're simply being an insulting with your common sense comment.
You are being disingenuous, for pretending this is about truth in some way and you're coming across as being an asshole by insulting people.
- thesmallestcat 10y agoHuh, I wonder who's responsible for their adoption of Rust in the first place. A real brain-teaser, this one. Anyway my point stands (and glad to see I've ruffled some feathers): Cython is the dull and maintainable choice here. Tell me which story is better for the new hire who has to work on this (David Cramer's shop is plainly a Python shop): 1) python setup.py install. Read a Cython tutorial. 2) Install the Rust toolchain and learn Rust. Hope that the language hasn't changed drastically in the past month. Hm... But I appreciate the "asshole" ad hominem.
- steveklabnik 10y agoRust has been stable for a year and a half, it won't "change drastically" like that.
