> 2) Rust's ecosystem makes it easy to find and integrate solutions not offered by the standard API This made me think back to something Rich Hickey said in his "Are we there yet?" talk. In short rust has memory management, and so can better function as a library language, similar to how Java did back in the 90's. Rich's quote below. >> And it is a big problem. I think the lack of garbage collection really impeded C++ in one of its design objectives, which is: it was supposed to be a library language. All the original design stuff and any time you heard Stroustrup talk about it, it is like, "C++ is going to be a library language". But it only ever ended up being a parochial library language. Every shop had a library, but there were not a library, and still are not a lot of libraries, that go between places, because of this problem. https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/ccc4a017294f6b6abdf62f47aa41298f93250af6/Hickey_Rich/AreWeThereYet-mostly-text.md https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/ccc4a0172...
