Rust and Go combined are on a trajectory to replace the high performance and general application development markets. Rust still has a battle ahead to secure its future, while Go is already most of the way there.
- networkimprov 7y ago"General application development" is not really a market segment. What classes of customers/situations are you referring to?
- bitwize 7y agoIndeed. People haven't developed "general applications" since the 90s or 2000s. Mobile and cloud are the future, applications are distributed, and different app components have different requirements. The closest thing to an application language that meets developer needs across all environments is JavaScript. It's not the best in any domain except Web clients, but it's pretty good in all of them.
- krapht 7y agoThat seems optimistic. I have zero reason to believe anything will replace Java or C# anytime soon. Anecdotally, but in my area I have seen almost zero job postings for Go.
