Is there really any mystery to why someone would prefer a language they know and are comfortable with. I'm more concerned why that seemed provocative enough to require inquiry. Rust is a very interesting language for sure, but there's an extremely robust c ecosystem that one would lose by transitioning at this point. And for library creators, there's much more to lose.
- maxbond 5y agoI felt this comment was incongruous, like it was a response to a question no one asked. I wanted to understand this better. I didn't interpret it as provocation. You seem to be reading a criticism of the C ecosystem into my question, as if everyone should drop C and learn Rust, but that is not what I meant nor what I believe.
