Rust hasn't made significant incursions into math modelling or industrial processing. It's advantages are slim there. Embedded will fracture into network interfacing and realtime where user input is less hostile, more predictable and doesn't require extensive constraint.
- e12e 9y agoIsn't it this kind of thinking that leads to sql injections in number plate readers?
- bmh100 9y agoI'm hoping for matrix/tensor primitives, like Fortran. Rust might be a good replacement. The C interop would also be useful for Fortran interop. What do you mean about industrial processing? PLCs?
- confounded 9y agoMany R/Python libraries for statistical programming use C/C++/Fortran under the hood, for the stuff that needs to be fast. I'd like to contribute to many of these packages, but have little interest in learning the languages. Rust could provide a good replacement (and one which is more productive for people used to higher-level languages). There hasn't been much uptake so far, but I'm hopeful.
