The next hot new worthless language is inevitably interpreted or built on the JVM. Always. Every single bloody time. Rust is a different animal. Firstly, it was conceived by a guy with the name Graydon Hoare, which is a very robust name. Nextly, it's already 8 years old. Finally, it's a fast, compiled language with excellent concurrency and safety. I still do all my HPC work in C++ with lots of template meta programming, but I'm a masochist. I'm confident that most coders do not actively gravitate towards suffering, although it would explain a lot if they did. You know what? Now that I think about it, I'm not confident about that, at all. Still, this new Krita release looks pretty sweet, even if it's not written in Rust. Good Lord, what are we even talking about, here?
