> And it's unsuited for many roles because it has eschewed reverse compatibility. Sure, you can write an operating system in Rust, but you'll have to re-write it (and possibly introduce new bugs) in five years or so. That's okay. Most rust devs get an erection at the idea of rewriting a massive codebase. For them the required rewrite every 5 years is a feature, not a bug.
