Yeah and some use C because Java is too slow. The point is, there is nothing new here, the history of computing is repeating itself. It's just now we have better toys, a bigger market and the stakes are higher.
- bluejekyll 10y agoAnd this is the reason that I've become such a huge fan of Rust... back to the metal, high level interface like Java.
- vbezhenar 10y agoRust doesn't bring much in that aspect. You could use C++ for performant high level abstraction for many years before Rust. Rust brings memory safety and that's huge. But it's not anything like Java, it's much harder.
- bluejekyll 10y agoActually, I think it's very similar to Java in terms of what is being offered and at what layer of thought. It does have a steep learning curve, but it's worth it. The number of concurrency bugs alone that I could have avoided if I had been able to use Rust years ago are sad to think about. Java has great concurrency tools, but doesn't do anything to make sure that your not shooting yourself in the foot.

- sametmax 10y agoI'm french so my english is sometime funny. I didn't mean a piece of meat from a weed smoking cow obviously.
- hrxn 10y agoVery true.. Although I think that (for 99% of possible use cases) if you believe that Java is too slow, you're just doing it wrong.
