Strange how a language according to you is unsuitable for general use. Yet it is used by Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Dropbox, Microsoft, Mozilla, Huawei, etc.
You live by some principles. Most people don't care about the principles you seem to care very much about. Most just have problems that need solving and Rust is the best tool for solving them. If the tool works differently to how they are used to working, they adapt and get on with their lives.
- hu3 6y agoThis comparison doesn't make sense. Not everyone has Google or Facebook money and engineering. Just because they can doesn't mean you can. They solve Google problems. And they use Rust to solve specialized problems because at their scale it is worth squeezing every advantage. For mortals like you and me most problems should be faced with a completely different mindset.
- rapsey 6y agoWhat does money have to do with using rustup?
- hu3 6y agoWhere did you mention rustup? Perhaps you replied to the wrong message? I'm addressing your statement that says a language is of general use if used by the likes of Google and Facebook. They have infinite amounts of enginering and very special problems to solve. What makes sense for them often does not for smaller teams solving trivial problems. > Strange how a language according to you is unsuitable for general use.
