I think there is fairly large difference between learning and being able to write production ready code. It's hard to imagine a person for whom Rust is hard to learn and who can write safe threaded code in C++ for example.
- ajross 8y agoHundreds of thousands of engineers are writing "production ready" C++ code every day. Your point seems trivially falsifiable, unless you want to turn it into a no-true-scotsman situation and explain how what they're "really" writing isn't "C++" or whatever. I'm not saying Rust is bad. I'm saying it's... becoming senselessly complicated. And that in 20 years when 60% of its amazing new features turn out to be just fashion (because they happens to everything), Rust will be "ugly" then in basically the same way that C++ is now, and we'll all be chasing some other new hotness.
