Highly subjective and project-specific, but I still think it provides a nice counter-anecdote to the constant Rust praise we tend to see here. And I say that as a Rust fan myself. > ...but remember that garbage collectors are great. By having a GC, we don't have to do any of the stuff that causes all these problems in Rust. Maybe that costs performance, but I need the ability to quickly write code a lot more than I need the extra performance. This is very valid and sensible. Worth noting is that C++ would be a ridiculous choice for this type of application, and Rust manages to be a not ridiculous choice which is already a huge accomplishment. But that doesn't mean it's always a good choice.
