- xigoi 4y agoDisagree. Nim has existed before Rust.
- db48x 4y agoOk, now we have to fight ;)
- tw1984 4y agoand golang I love golang and rust equally. :)
- tooltitude 4y agoThey have different tradeoffs and different use cases. They intersect, though.
- fasterik 4y agoSee my sibling reply to tw1984 where I discuss AAA games and high frequency trading. If Rust is unambiguously better, you would think there would be an incentive to adopt it in these industries where development costs are high and a lot of money is at stake. In reality, there are always tradeoffs, and Rust has some tradeoffs that make it risky or impossible to adopt in areas where raw speed and productivity are really important.
