If it works for you it's great, but for vast majority it's the wrong step forward. Biggest enemies of a startup are time and money. If you have both, great but vast majority have neither!
The sentiment of "our startup became a success because of Rust" is misleading. You're success is not attributed to choosing Rust over something else but rather the effort spent in gaining valuable expertise in years prior and understanding the product it takes to gain customers' attention/money/commitment.
- lars_francke 3y agoYou make all these claims but have not presented any proof apart from your anecdotes. You equate Rust to "takes more time and money". Neither of those is true (for us) compared to Java and Go. Both of which are languages we initially tried. But I do agree that the choice of programming language is largely irrelevant to the success of a company. Somehow you seem to think it does, or rather that Rust specifically is the one case where the above is not true.
