C++ is still the de facto language to write truly performance-oriented programs. While I do find Rust refreshing in that it actually brings something novel to the PL space, let’s not put the horse before the cart. While I’m optimistic about Rust’s future, it is still a tiny niche language compared to bigger ones, especially C++ in their targeted niche.

- aldanor 4y agoYou can't write "truly performance-oriented programs" in Rust" but in C++ you can? Mind expanding on that?
- kaba0 4y agoCpp is the de facto language for that, it’s not that it is impossible to do so in rust. But there are certain patterns not as well expressible in rust.
