I work at Meta and I use tools written in bash, C, Java, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin and Dart daily. I've definitely noticed that some C++ tools are moving to Rust. I would have preferred to see D in its place, but it is what it is.
Personally I'm not a fan of Rust, but it is interesting to see how the language is growing as it hits mainstream. Lots of similarities with Go back when it was cool and hip.
- brink 4y agoNot that you need to be a fan, but what are your reasons for not liking Rust? As a Rust developer, I'm always curious.
- 10x-dev 4y agoI think its killer feature is the memory safety guarantees, but other than that, I just don't find it as readable as other modern languages, mainly because it's symbol heavy.
- nicolashahn 4y agoFair, but like any language this becomes a non-issue given enough time with it.
- 10x-dev 4y agoI've never liked the "you'll get used to it" approach to life. I prefer to make my life harder by pursuing the perfect solution. It has bitten me in the behind multiple times in the past :)
- zascrash 4y agoAre your use of Dart related to flutter?
- 10x-dev 4y agoYeap, our team has a few quick-and-dirty GUI tools in Flutter
