I'll give another reason: the typical Java (and JS/Python/whatever) developer doesn't have the knowledge, dedication, and interest to learn it. And companies don't care about maximizing performance in most cases, they want good enough for cheap enough, and a decent Rust dev is going to cost more than a decent Java or .NET dev
- zozbot234 4y agoDedication and interest among developers will grow when compelling stuff starts to be written in Rust. Same as Java in the 1990s, .net, Python and Ruby in the 2000s or JS in the 2010s.
- HideousKojima 4y agoNo, I'm saying the typical dev doesn't have any interest in learning anything new beyond what they already know, and some hot new thing in Rust isn't going to change that. The level of mental effort needed to learn Rust is greater than the typical dev is willing to expend on anything.
