Have we all started to mention the language now when we write a piece of software?

  On hacker news, people are interested in hacking. I don’t know rust so that adds a barrier to entry for me, but might be nice for a rust programmer.

    I own Sonos and I program in Rust. Two interest points. Rust is trying to get to the threshold where it's applicable in the workplace. (All but a few major companies use it.) Unlike Golang, it needs all the cheerleading it can get to push it over that hurdle. I want to use Rust at work instead of Java.

  Well, it's Rust! That means it will never crash, leak memory, or be susceptible to buffer overflow exploits. Plus it's fast! You can listen to a 2-minute song in 1 minute 50 seconds!

    This is golden. (And for those who aren't familiar with rust, it can leak memory and it tends to crash intead of exhibiting undefined behavior... but you could write it to listen to a 2 minute song at a faster pace :)

    This also apply with all garbage collected languages. So your argument is moot.
