Build Rust on top of the JVM? Buddy, you're a long way out to sea on that one.

Build Rust on top of the JVM? Buddy, you're a long way out to sea on that one.
- ClayFerguson 10y agoYeah, you are taking that sentence too literally. What I mean is we don't need a new language created every week. Java is already perfectly fine, and IF somebody finds something Java can't do, they shouldn't start from scratch and create a new language, but instead build and improve on what already exists: Java. It's like you can either stand on the shoulders of giants or you can start out at dirt level. I don't like starting back in the dirt. Not to mention the fact that every time somebody reinvents an already existing wheel, they just fragment the industry, because half the script-kiddies out there (not knowing any better) will simply jump on the bandwagon of whatever language most recently went viral. The Sisyphus approach to technological advancement.
