Maybe add TS into the mix, but I doubt it's a typo. TS is just a subset of JS.
I'm a JS developer and learning Rust is one of my side projects. I've built a few hobby projects that combine both. They work well together and Rust is a much friendlier language to work with than C/C++ (IMHO).
- singularity2001 8y ago> TS is just a subset of JS. Semantic typo: you meant superset of subset of JS. (pedantically that predicate would apply to all other languages in the universe)
- steveklabnik 8y agoThe reason that it would have an “in-built audience” is due to the superset relationship, that’s why I think it is.
- zebraflask 8y agoFor TS? I actually wonder how much of the TS stat is due to Angular. I only picked up TS because it's required to use Angular. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have bothered. TS is fine, but I have yet to see any real benefit compared to plain JS. Rust going up in popularity is pretty cool, though. I can think of production cases I'd use it for on the server side.
- steveklabnik 8y agoSince all JS is TS, it's very easy to transition to. Similar to how Kotlin runs on the JVM, and is sort of, if you squint, just a nicer syntax for Java. Anyway, who knows, it's not really that important. Glad you have some use-cases in mind for Rust :). If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out!
