- RamblingCTO 3y agoYou can get a big speedbump with go without introducing the overhead of object lifecycle management.
- xnorswap 3y agoYour sentence is confusing; a speedbump is designed to slow you down.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoHaha, you're right. I meant speed bump. As a German I'm used to chaining words together.
- xnorswap 3y agoIt wasn't the chaining that was an issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_bump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_bump . Perhaps "speed boost" would be a better alternative for your intended meaning.
- jamincan 3y agoInterestingly "bump in speed" would be fine, but "speed bump", means the exact opposite.

- jasonjmcghee 3y agoIt isn’t in this context. “got a speed bump” vs “hit a speed bump”
- crabmusket 3y agoThen rewrite Prettier in Go and I'm sure people will use it :)
- RamblingCTO 3y agoNot slightly interested. My point is: we have tools that fit the problem better instead of supporting the hype train of rust.
- jamincan 3y agoWhat do you suggest would be better? Command-line tools, parsing and parallelism are all things that Rust excels at.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoWhy on earth would you need object lifecycle mem management for these things? These are points where Go excels as well. Rust is meant as a systems language, I'd love to have it as a general purpose lang as well, but it's not imho.
- crabmusket 3y agoSo you think Rust is a bad choice because... the programmers will need to deal with the borrow checker? I think it's been demonstrated that programmers are fine with that.
