> I get annoyed by being pushed to accept an idea without thinking on it. What I have gone through is akin to being surrounded by people chanting something, and I expected (or even bullied) to chant the same thing without understanding what I'm buying into. Yeah, happened to all of us. Sorry that it happened to you. My discussion with you was sitting on a much more reasonable ground, I believe: namely assess the thing (in this case thing == Rust) by its own merits and niche. And you said you are open to that so my work here is done, so to speak. yet I put it on ice until gccrs is released, and learnt Go instead, because it proved to be a better tool for what I was trying to build. On your point 1 here I'll only say that software licenses don't bother me at all. As long as the license does not say "you cannot use that OPEN source software in your CLOSED work or else you owe me" then I'll use it and not give it a second thought. Morality and legalese concerns in software is something I just don't want to deal with for now, likely forever too. As for your point 2... actually I did the same. I do love Rust but I had a number of mini projects, commercial and for my own use, where I really wanted to get something off the ground in literal minutes. Golang served me there better than Rust. When I get a little more free time I plan to achieve the same friction-less experience with Rust because it is not like that out of the box but I know for a fact that it can be made to be like that. > I understand and I agree, but I just can't port a library developed by a team of specialized researchers and hand-optimized for a ton of hardware/processor architectures [0] by myself. I understand. We touched on this already, suffice to summarize that in this case you're fully aware that your assessment is also a bit niche, you know that for less specialized work Rust can be a fantastic fit, you are open to try it and get intimate with it in the future, and as I mentioned already -- that's all I wanted to achieve when discussing with you. Thanks for being a good discussion partner. ^_^
