As other people have pointed out, despite being a “systems language” Rust has attracted people from a whole bunch of areas and programming languages and limiting itself to just systems programming would limit its uptake and community for very little benefit.
Not that this means that every demand needs to be acquiesced to, there’s balance to be found.
- danielscrubs 7y agoWeb development projects in a new language is a good starting point because you can do something with pretty UI quickly and with minimum configuration. But it has no staying power. A web developer will be gone after a couple of months (fun to learn!), leaving behind nothing, and suddenly Rust will have lost its footing (systemdevelopment).
- garmaine 7y agoI’m always happy if people use Rust. But why call out an unrelated field with a use case nearly opposite of Rust’s design requirements as “the lifeblood” of adoption?
