Where's the proof that Rust makes it easier and faster to create applications? In my experience it's harder and slower compared to other languages like Go and even C++, but you get memory-safety in return while keeping a very good runtime performance profile.
- tcfhgj 4y agoI have been way more productive with Rust than with C++. For instance, I haven't yet had to debug weirdly muting memory, deal with the immense nuanced possibilities of doing the same thing (there's a reason for CPP core guidelines), stuff like the rule of five, writing cross platform cmake files that include various libraries, ... Not proof for a general statement, but another example from a Rust adaptor

- crabbygrabby 4y agoRust removes a lot of the debugging and performance tuning, that happens later in production. Is it easier/faster while you are learning. Nope. When you understand it, sure it could be. This depends on the person. Just like how someone might be faster or slower at a specific framework within the same language. Imo I write programs faster than other languages because the compiler helps me out. Your mileage may vary.
