I am a Rust fanboy, and I can't see anything worthwhile in this article. I joke that any love-story about Rust will get you to a front page of HN. Yeah, Rust is awesome, and many people love it, but it is a bit ridiculous.
- vonseel 8y agoI wonder a little about the source of the name "Rust". That seems like an odd choice for a language name - not that it matters. Rust - being associated with old metals - makes me think of something that's been left out and abandoned. Maybe because I'm from a rural part of the country where you see a lot of rusted metal sheds or abandoned structures. Go, on the other hand, makes perfect sense - "let's go!" implies that it is something that is made to get things done and also being the first two letters of Google.
- steveklabnik 8y agoIt’s got multiple associations, the “well-worn tool” one is one of them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus) is another.
