This argument is a bit... tired. There are genuine advantages to different technologies and we should explore them. Every article about rewrites (not only Rust) is met with this sort of comment and it is counter productive. If someone is claiming a technology is better in some way and you disagree, explain why they are mistaken.
- austincheney 7y ago> There are genuine advantages to different technologies That is also a tired argument. The compile target is WASM. Rust can be the greatest thing ever, but the performance that matters and the only limitations the user will see are those inherent to WASM. Is WASM multithreaded with the execution speed of a Rust binary? No, so who cares?
- rienbdj 7y agoThe process of generating the WASM is entirely different. C, C++ and Rust all generate x86 assembly but they have very different trade offs. Following this line of reasoning writing raw WASM would also be a fine choice!
