My experience is that Rust advocates often go well out of their way to specify the limits of Rust’s protection, and will even rush in to correct someone who over promises what Rust can give you.
- htfy96 6y agor/rust and users.rust-lang.org are informative and sensible when it comes to limitations. Twitter and, well, random programming discords are often full of cults
- lostcolony 6y agoYeah, I've never criticized Rust advocates for not talking enough about Rust. :P But seriously, yeah, the seasoned Rustaceans I've known have been pretty thorough in giving downsides/limitations as well. It's something I love about a language; when the voices in it are aggressive in talking about things it does poorly, or use cases it's not optimal (I still love that Erlang's official website has a section for when _not_ to use it).
