It's pretty good and practical.
The only real downsides are in the library availability and deployment vs. more established languages.
I'd choose to use it if I could though, it has the least downsides of any language IMO.
- JonChesterfield 5y agoWasn't Amazon buying ownership of it recently? Seems a substantial disadvantage if that comes to pass
- bogeholm 5y agoAmazon is a member of the Rust Foundation, they haven’t “bought” the language. Edit to add: https://foundation.rust-lang.org/members/ https://foundation.rust-lang.org/members/
- JonChesterfield 5y agoHiring core devs and imposing control that way if I'm following the discussions successfully, e.g https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28513130 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28513130. Interested in reasons to believe Amazon are not going to determine the future of the language, I'm at least six months out of date.
- zozbot234 5y agoLibrary availability is pretty much anything with a C FFI, that should cover a lot of ground. Deployment is also very simple, there are ways of making your app into a "portable", self-contained binary that will work essentially anywhere. Rust is also one of few languages that can seamlessly (e.g. with no need for an added runtime) target WASM.
