Rust left big impression on me mostly because I was amazed that there exists functional language in Systems programming world! There, C is the absolute king, even Cpp doesn't cut it sometimes (when we are coming close to embedded world). Writing in Rust really feels like "programming" and not "systems programming", because of the way you approach the problems that are bound relatively close to metal. And community is amazing. So I just hope I gain more knowledge and time, so I can start playing with it properly.
Disclaimer: I haven't programmed a lot in Rust, because I am busy learning other thing atm (student heh), but I am following it for 2 years now, and reading a lot about it, occasionally I write some small programs.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoIf you like that concept, then check out this functional language in system programming that didn't require a LISP machine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PreScheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PreScheme The House and MirageOS operating systems also put Haskell and Ocaml to work for this respectively. House even did drivers in Haskell with a modified version of hop. Here's their site: http://programatica.cs.pdx.edu/House/ http://programatica.cs.pdx.edu/House/
