I write a lot of Rust. I think you can do a startup in rust but you need to explicitly go against the natural inclinations of rust. Rust is a great language partially because it cares about the details. It’ll do stuff like distinguish between Path and String because it treats the edgecases as important. In a startup that’s not really a priority. In fact focusing on edgecases and doing things the “right” way is completely not the point of writing code in a startup. Rust is also a great language to refactor, something that’s also not ideal for a startup to be spending cycles on. Would I do a startup in rust? Maybe. It’d depend on the idea. But I’d take measures to avoid the natural orthodoxy of Rust.
