Rust is a feature because as anything written in rust is subject to one of the smartest typesystems on the planet, designed to make you do the right thing. It's also easier to maintain and refactor than many other languages.
I definitely see it as a feature, but I don't choose software solely based on this.

- DiggyJohnson 5y agoSeconded, what a fascinating comment.
- lillecarl 5y agoHow is it fascinating? The compiler forces you to do things the right way, if someone's convinced the compiler that their program is valid it's proof of all the good thing the compiler enforces, which is more than "any other language". It's also likely that if you're using rust you care about performance and have thought about it while building your application, this is also a feature. What's fascinating to me is everyone who says written in Rust isn't a feature. It definitely is, and it's going to keep eating C and C++'s lunch in new areas every year.
