I wanted Rust to replace C++, but now I feel that it’s fallen right back into design by committee complexity in the language and ecosystem tooling and is just if not more complicated to use than C++, and it also seems to have a lot of community toxicity. Knowing that the people driving it’s future are constantly getting bad press makes me want to avoid getting involved. While I do think memory safety is important, Rust is not a panacea with no trade offs. Community and vision are definitely part of The equation. If I had to pick a systems programming language I might still pick C for its simplicity, staying power, and lack of drama.
