For some, theoretically it's easier to train new Rust developers than it is to fix the bugs of new C/C++ programmers. Folks are trying to move the cost to training and dev bringup time instead of bug-fixing time.
Rust has other more technical advantages. But if you want to know why management is choosing it, it's because getting good C/C++ developers is a painful process nowadays.
- pjmlp 6y agoGetting good developers is painful process no matter what, usually those are the ones that don't answer headhunters, search for their own gigs via their own contact network, and don't get to change jobs just for a couple of more coins.
- aspaceman 6y agoTrue. Guess I just meant some folks are willing to trade one problem for another.
