> The Rust ecosystem is so new that it feels a bit like we're in the Wild West. This is pretty normal for an ecosystem at Rust's stage of development. Ecosystem development is always something of a monkeys-on-typewriters effect and if you continuously have major disruptions in the language, you wind up with Javascript Fatigue. What I'm particularly impressed with in Rust is the core team's leadership. I'm looking forward to Tokio because I think it's likely to have Rails-like dominance over the ecosystem. This is exciting because it gets us monkeys all pointed in the same direction instead of writing another postgresql client because existing ones don't support the current flavor of event loop that I'm using. Getting to the point where we can snap a bunch of pieces together and have a network service is huge for office advocacy. I think it was a key factor in Ruby's wins over the more established Python web community when observing from the Python side. I'm also pleased that the Rust core team is focused on my pet areas of improvement: editor support, impl Trait, and async network services.
