Yeah the Rust hype machine is a bit zealous, but I don't think it's entirely unfounded. Rust genuinely solves (or tries way better to that past langs) many problems that plague programmers and computer systems.
I myself have barely used it and yet despite the steep learning curve (boy is it steep) I already enjoy it way more than C++ (let alone java, ick), and I'm sure it'll be more fun once I grok ownership.
Go is more fun though ;)
- tasogare 6y agoWhich problems does it solve besides memory safety for non-GCed languages? That’s the only relevant point I ever saw mentioned, others being already addressed by a lot of languages, for example F# and C#.
