Would you still use rust for your CRUD apps? I think of it as a specialized, safe, performant system language. I wouldn’t think of turning to it for the random rest services we constantly churn out.
- staticassertion 7y agoI don't write REST services, but I use rust on AWS Lambda, and it works great. I can interact with AWS resources easily through Rusoto, I use Dynamo and S3, etc.
- asdkhadsj 7y agoI would. I feel more performant (as a dev I mean, I'm not referring to code) with Rust after a year than with Go after 6 years. Which to me indicates that at least for myself, Rust is a language that allows me to get things done more quickly. Iterators especially. With that said, I definitely wouldn't throw Rust at the Python/Go devs in my shop expecting them to be better/faster at it. It can have significant spin up time and, most importantly, if you're used to doing things unsafely by using bad patterns Rust will be hell for you. I commented recently that I think Rust can be far more simple than people give it credit for. Namely, that you can write Rust in the same manner as Go, pretending Rust was Go. However going far beyond that too quickly is a world of hurt, from personal experience at least.
