I’ll get straight to the point I want to make: Rust is suffering from an identity crisis. Much like Javascript.
Realizing this, I thoroughly feel the need for a “Rust, the good parts” doctrine.
A good portion of use-cases could be successfully implemented with a small subset of language. The small subset doesn’t need to be any more complicated than Go. And in doing so, we’d be reducing the entry barrier for masses and encouraging wider adoption.
Edited: For clarity
- davidatbu 3y agoCan you expound upon why Rust is having an identity crisis? Rust's current mission is: "empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software." It seems like it's hitting that goal to me (for .e.g., it empowered me, a person who's never written serious code in C/C++, to write wasm-based speech recognition reliably and efficiently). Also, what is the identity crisis that JS is having?
