We attempted C++ about a year ago, but I was never confident in our ability to clean up memory allocations (we had leaks) or avoid undefined behavior (we had segfaults).
I definitely feel more confident about our Rust code. It's no silver bullet, but it prevents a lot of unsoundness with its compile-time guarantees.
I can't really compare to C++, but it's easy to write new code or refactor old code. It took some time to get there, though.
All in all, I would recommend Rust wholeheartedly. The ecosystem is growing and getting more mature every week. The community is very helpful in general, especially the tokio folks.
- steveklabnik 7y agoGlad to hear you all are doing great with Rust! :D
- jimleroyer 7y agoThanks for sharing! It's nice to hear about this learning. Also, wasn't aware of tokio, it looks real nice.
