The clincher for me with respect to rust is that I see a steady stream of useful software being developed in it.
I never really saw that in Haskell and I've heard people talking about it for at least 15 years. That indicates that something is missing.
- rubber_duck 10y agoThis makes me hopeful about Rust as well.
- kazagistar 10y agoThere is some pretty damn useful software written in haskell. For example, I started using Pandoc long before I knew it was written in Haskell, and for me, it still dwarfs the utility of any specific tool made in Rust. That said, Haskell had a lot longer to get there, so Rust is still moving a lot faster on that front.
- flukus 10y agoIt's been the same with lisp for 40/50 years. A lot of evangelists but not a lot of people doing useful things with it. Rails did more for FP than lisp evangelists ever did.
