Just to clarify: do you still have a realm where you would use Rust?
- pjmlp 6y agoOnly for my hobby coding trying out ideas across as many languages as I can, as language geek to get inspired about new ways to approach solving problems. For my line of work. I rather use what is available out of the box in SDK installers and respective IDEs, no need to add extra complexity. Now in general, I think Rust's sweet spot is on kernel, drivers and maybe composition engine, anything else GC languages with low level features, e.g. Swift, D, Nim, Crystal, .NET Native, Java (after Panama/Vahlala), Go (assuming 2020 generics get in) are a much more productive way to tackle problems. EDIT: Just like with FP, I am a firm believer that eventually all mainstream languages will have some form of affine types, and Rust will have played the role of a stepping stone into the adoption of Cyclone and ATS ideas for low level coding.
