Probably the other way around. When I first started using Rust it still had LWT and segmented stacks. I was excited that it seemed like I'd finally have a sort of "systems" Erlang. Over time the only consistent large nexus of Rust users using it "in anger" were the compiler team itself and the Servo team. Lots of those folks were, or had been, working on pretty significant C++ code bases, and over time their needs and perspectives seemed to (kind of necessarily) take hold.
- lewisinc 7y agoWould you say that's still the case? I've also been hoping that Rust would see a kind of Actor-oriented ecosystem emerge, and while there's definitely projects out there, none of them really support distributed computation in the same way you'd get from Erlang. At least yet, I'm still hopeful.
