The discussion was about being higher-level vs lower-level. Rust is a more expressive language than Kotlin. Where languages are used is a different matter, because expressiveness is not the only thing playing role there. Politics and historical reasons are another dimension.
- pjmlp 4y agoYou made it about politics with ridiculous remarks, now the conversation turns around, what a surprise.
- pkolaczk 4y agoYou seem to be missing my point. The point was not about which languages are mainstream (which is highly subjective, hard to measure and also may be an effect of certain politics), but about their level of abstraction. Rust is often placed in the "low level, close to the hardware" bin because it can go low-level very far if you wish to. But it is often forgotten that it can be also very high in terms of expressiveness / abstraction power and offers productivity features not found in many mainstream languages.
