Even if Rust becomes almost as complex than C++ (which may be necessary to be able to move all low level code base from C/C++ to Rust), the world becomes a safer place by not having so many memory corruption bugs while being CPU/memory friendly. I really appreciate the fast pace the Rust team has and hope for this transition to start ASAP (though features are still missing for big code bases, like distributed compilation).
- adrianN 8y agoYeah well, that assumes that everybody will start using Rust no matter how complex the language becomes.
- pjmlp 8y agoThere is another way, which is how all surviving systems programming languages got their job. A major OS vendor states "if you want to target my OS here is the language".

- pjmlp 8y agoMost likely using a C compiler writen in C++. :)
