I want to like the rust language. The syntax is nice and the features are interesting. My problem is the ecosystem. The packaging and build system clearly isn’t designed to accommodate classic desktop applications. The FFI is really painful, and even Firefox has tons of wrapper code to just integrate with the libraries it needs to have a GUI. In that respect I agree with Theo in that Rust developers are focusing on far too narrow of a use case, mostly web facing applications or data processing. Cargo being so similar to npm kind of confirms this. Rust isn’t intended for me.
