> Onboard new developers to Rust takes time and effort
The number of Rust developers is increasing rapidly, so this won't always be the case, and it's likely one of the only reasons not to use Rust in many green field projects.
The rapid adoption of Rust is also a reason to use it. If you publish an open source project using Rust then you're more likely to get contributions than you would using another language.
- quantified 4y agoIt's also the case that it's a language people want to learn. For better or worse, you'll get candidates who want to use it. C is probably still better for performance due to compiler maturity, but the proportion of devs who say "I want to code more C" to "I want to code more or start coding in Rust" is likely not great. A year or two from now the investment will probably look pretty good.
- StefanWestfal 4y agoI am a bit sceptical when it comes to acutal adoption of Rust. On github language stats the number of PR & pushes seems to be more or less steady over time.
