You hit the nail on the head with long term vs short term gain, but I think there is an additional factor to consider: software generally isn’t frozen at v1. You should also consider if using Rust reduces the toil of incremental changes to your software after its gold release.
- optymizer 4y agoI'm mentioning v2 towards the end (I did make a few edits so apologies if it was missing for you)
- vore 4y agoIt’s always hard to convince management of the business value of a v2 rewrite, especially if v1 works “well enough” from the outside :( Sometimes it’s easier to just front load the cost to avoid significant churn later.
