Not quite there yet.
- swsieber 7y agoNot quite where yet? It's seeing lots (albeit quiet) of production adoption, and it's still growing.
- faitswulff 7y agoProbably more of a compelling alternative to C++, and not as much so for C (yet), from what I've read so far.
- scabarott 7y agoI'm not sure it's even a compelling alternative to C++ at this point. The borrow checker is sometimes unpredictable and hard to reason about and the language syntax is not always consistent. I think we will see more adoption in the future but there are reasons why it has not been adopted as much as one would have expected.
- swsieber 7y agoYes. Besides being distinctly more like C++ than C, there are other less complex languages (zig comes to mind) that are contending for that area.
- downerending 7y agoViewed from here, Rust has far less penetration than Python did in (say) 1995. I see more Julia than Rust, for example. Whatever its benefits, Rust remains quite obscure for now.
