I just use Go (or Nim) for native. It’s not comparable in goals and what Rust tries to do at all. But Go compiles super fast, is very fast, solves the glaring C safety issues, very keen on helping you with threads, and has a very fast garbage collector. If I run into performance problems, it’s not because of Go. But yeah Rust has its place in certain scenarios. I still hesitate to call it general purpose though — I think it’s best suited for stuff that underpins applications/usermode. And I don’t think it can be made much less obnoxious.
