Another couple of flaws that could have a big impact on Rust.
- It will be super hard to hire for Rust for a long time. It would be a very bold move to write your app in Rust if you plan to grow your tech team anytime soon.
- I havn't tried learning Rust myself, but I have read that little that it can be a little tricky to start thinking the rust way (borrowing?) Plus the language "looks" hardcore. I wonder if that will put off new devs.
- quotemstr 10y ago> super hard to hire for Rust for a long time Good programmers aren't strongly bound to language. Hire any systems programmer and have that person learn Rust.
- jay_kyburz 10y agoVery true, also it's not really a weakness for Rust, but any new language / tools.
- lobster_johnson 10y agoThere have comments on HN to the effect that, paradoxically, it's easy to find Haskell developers to hire, because there are so many jobs that require working with more mainstream languages. I would hope the same principle applies to Rust.
- dllthomas 10y agoYou might even hire some of us Haskell programmers.
