Ok...is there a use case where Rust is better? This seems like you're punting. Why would I want to invest the time and energy to learn this?

- xfer 9y agoYou wouldn't invest time and energy to build web app in rust, but you would be able to write your frontend in rust instead of investing time and energy in $JSFRAMEWORK of the year.

- kbenson 9y agoFor some of the same reasons you might want to write your back-end in JS, but going the other direction. You could share code between front-end and back-end, but have a very strongly typed, secure, fast, and less prone to bugs language to do it in. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're already got a lot of code written on the back-end, this might make a lot of sense.
