Rust is pretty clearly the ascendant language in this (big) niche.
I forecast that as it’s pragmatic, industrial uses (inevitably) grow sharply, that the FFI story will just have to improve. Rust is going to be the next “low-level” language.
The “Pure Rust” talking point will have to recede a bit but it will be a net win for Rust’s truly broad adoption, which is going to happen whether cranky old-timers like me like it or not :)
- benreesman 4y agoBitching about downvotes is generally frowned upon around here, but I’ll burn a little of my old-timer credit. How is acknowledging that Rust is clearly and obviously the next big thing an insult to anyone. It’s not my favorite language but it’s a good one and I know it’s going to displace C/C++ in my lifetime. What more does the downvote brigade want?
