Rust will always be harder than Go because Rust has an intentionally strict compiler. That said, there is a lot of progress to be made in this space. It doesn't make sense to write off Rust as being a contender for mainstream web development, as it is still in its early stages.
- nicoburns 6y agoHarder, but much less monotonous.
- ibraheemdev 6y agoDon't get me wrong, I love the borrow checker, but it takes time to get used to it, especially for those coming from simpler languages Node.js who may not understand the lower level concerns that the compiler is dealing with.
- nicoburns 6y agoMy observation (coming from NodeJS myself and hanging out on r/rust) is that those from an Java/C#/C background seem to struggle a lot more. They expect to be able to use patterns that you can't inplement in Rust. Whereas most JS developers are used to functionalish patterns with minimal mutable state already. Plus a lot of the things you can't do in Rust you also can't do in JS because it's simply too high level.
