It seems like there is an opportunity for Rust to improve its learning curve by adding an "easy std" library that wraps some of the byte juggling headaches. People coming from scripting languages or who just want to write a quick program, for example, might not care that using a + operator to concatenate two string objects might implicitly allocate memory. And they still have strong static types and the option to access bytes when necessary.
- eridius 10y agoPeople who want to write code as if it were a scripting language might want to just pick a different language than Rust. Nobody said everybody has to write in Rust. Either Go or Swift might be a good choice for those people.
