Most of those applications would probably be just fine with a GC language, so the cognitive load of doing things safely in any non-GC language is probably a waste.
- lmm 4y agoSure, but given that even today people still feel the need to write applications in non-GC languages for some godforsaken reason, it's good that Rust is there for them. Making a new language is easier than educating the developer population, sadly.
- nicoburns 4y agoMost of them might be fine in a GC language, but most of those GC language apps will bind to C libraries as some point. It’s those underlying components we need to start to replace for truly robust systems.
