I am aware. My post was about Rust not originally being intended for much of the non-concurrent and performance-agnostic application programming it is currently being used for (e.g. the enormous amount of CLI utilities cropping up). Its popularity in this domain is due to qualities that were not part of (or at least orthogonal to) the original vision.
- steveklabnik 4y agoAh, I see, my bad. I misunderstood. (I think part of it is also like, what even is "systems" is confusing; I think many folks would think of those CLI apps as being bread and butter systems stuff, but you can slice it both ways really.) Hopefully someone finds the presentation interesting if they haven't seen it before :)
