You can do the things you do in Node, Async, in Rust too.
Futures and friends are in nightly and soon in Stable, which enable you to mix the best of both world; Multithreaded and Async.
Once you get used to Rust, you fight the borrow checker a lot less.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoYou can level "just use Rust" at any non-Rust ecosystem. It's kind of tired advice. You might as well be recommending Haskell or any other hobby horse language and then argue from a standpoint of technical superiority as if that's the only concern when choosing tools. I use Rust all the time yet I'll still use Node for most HTTP-based applications and tools I start, and not because I'm an idiot or beginner, as many comments here will suggest. They are completely different languages and ecosystems and workflows that satisfy different goals.
- zaarn 7y agoThis isn't "just use rust". This is "just use something more mature". And there are plenty of more mature ecosystems developing Async capability or that have a good Threading story.
