Very much agreed. It's not like the anti-Rust comments are much better. They're often quite biased in the other direction and rest upon arguments that boil down to "if you write C++ correctly, it's a very good language". But of course, Rust has flaws and design decisions that make it a poor fit for many people/usecases. Really I'd love it if people kept an open mind, did their research and tried to not let their biases rule their judgement.
- pjmlp 5y agoAll those arguments, as usual, also fail to discuss the existing ecosystems. Sure one can somehow write Rust-CUDA but is going to have an uphill fight versus someone just crusing along focused on the actual problem, instead of building infrastructure. That is just one example.
- jacquesm 5y agoWhat weirds me out is to see your comment grayed out within minutes of posting. Have an upvote, it's a valid point you are making.
- pjmlp 5y agoI survived USENET and Slashdot, and am the first generation out of a 40 years dictatorship, downvotes on Internet forums don't bother me. Thanks for the upvote anyway.
- hardwaregeek 5y agoOh yeah that's a valid criticism. Same reason why I don't plan on writing a CRUD API in Rust. It's an uphill slog compared to Rails or Node.
