I guess they've at least heard of it, yeah, but how many of them have actually tried Rust (or any other language with a modern type system)?

They should probably be using Java, C#, Scala, ML, F#, Haskell, etc. then.
- reality_czech 10y agoI have tried Rust, Go, Java, SML, Lisp, Javascript, and many other languages. I prefer Go in many situations where simplicity, speed of compilation, and portability are important. Rust is an interesting language with a lot of potential but the jury is still out on how wide the adoption will be. There is a steep learning curve, and the borrow checker has limitations. One thing I don't appreciate is being lectured by pimply-faced nerds about how Go programmers should embrace Java/C++ generics into their heart as their personal saviors. I understand what Java and C++ are, I can choose to use them or not, and it's none of your business.
