> Initially, I expected to go to Rust. Rust has excellent tooling, great libraries, a delightful community, etc. But after spending about a month on it, I can't say I like writing Rust. Especially, I don't like writing async code in Rust. I like a nice high level language, and that's kinda what you need when you have a project as big as Dark to build. And Rust is not that. I'll publish "Why Dark didn't choose Rust" next. I'm interested in the next post of the author elaborating a bit more why Rust wasn't an option here. As I understood, the author has just discarded Rust because wants a "nice high level language" (aside async writing) which is something relative IMO.
