Sometimes cost savings can be imaginary but since Rust is cool it is all fine.
- lossolo 3y agoTheir technical justification is so weak that I think it was more like, 'We are bored, look at this new shiny toy called Rust. Let's think about reasons why we need to use it (to justify using it) so we can have some fun'.
- geodel 3y agoYes. To be honest I keep learning, writing bits n pieces of tools using cool new language/framework etc for my personal pleasure. But to read these kind of official announcement blog posts feels so fake. I don't know, but I can't take anything seriously from people/companies writing these articles.
