Is "Rust" a positive-sounding name in the first place ? It's old, decaying metal. It's like saying your favorite image editor is Gimp. It is a fine piece of software, but sounds unprofessional for native English speakers.
- LyndsySimon 9y agoThat depends on what the "metal" is :) If the "metal" is the existing ecosystem of languages, then the name would imply that it will slowly eat away and replace code that's been written in other languages.
