Try it out and write the critique, then. The posts are positive because Rust is genuinely achieving rapid progress and stability... but certainly not without flaws.
I've experienced plenty of frustration, albeit outweighed by the massive benefits for my use case. And there are whole problem domains to which it's just not suited. I see these mentioned pretty frequently.
- Thaxll 9y agoFor once there is no consensus how to do parallelism an concurrency in Rust since none of the library are matures.
- coldtea 9y agoDon't most people opt for something called Tokyo? I don't do Rust much, but even I have heard of it by now...
- steveklabnik 9y agoTokio for IO concurrency, Rayon for data parallelism.
- Bitcoin_McPonzi 9y agoExactly! Rust doesn't solve any parallelism problems. It's no better than established languages like C# or F#, and probably worse.
- vvanders 9y agoI'd consider handling data races gracefully a pretty large step forward in doing parallel data computation.
