And an easy way to tell is there is no section in the post on what the downsides are to picking Rust.
- steveklabnik 6y agoThere may not be an explicit section, but the post certainly talks about how it would be a mistake to rewrite the code, and gives reasons.
- tankenmate 6y agoIMHO that is just a soft touch, it's just saying there might be some areas where Rust isn't a good fit. What the article doesn't address is what the intrinsic costs of switching are, as opposed to what the article does address is that there are probably places where it doesn't have a good fit. In short the article doesn't address what new costs Rust might bring that are intrinsic to using Rust (as opposed to costs that are inherent in making a change to _any_ new language).
