"There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude improvement ... in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity." -- Fredrick Brooks Source: http://worrydream.com/refs/Brooks-NoSilverBullet.pdf http://worrydream.com/refs/Brooks-NoSilverBullet.pdf Nevertheless, Rust has shown great promise and implemented great ideas for high performance and safer low-level / system programming. We need to keep on improving and using Rust and its ideas to improve the high performance, low-level / system programming space.
