Believe it or not it’s possible, even desirable, to use an appropriate solution to the problem at hand, rather than treating everything as a nail just because you’re find if your hammer.
- goku12 2y agoThat argument is selectively and rather condescendingly applied to Rust far too often. In this particular context (both the parent comment and the article), that criticism should apply more to Go than to Rust. Besides, I don't understand the argument of asking everyone to learn a dozen different languages for an 'appropriate solution at hand' when the differences between them don't justify such effort. I don't dislike Go. But it's disingenuous to argue that Rust shouldn't be used where Go can be.

- goku12 2y agoAnother misused and overused criticism. I don't see people forcing Rust as much as those who make unsubstantiated claims of Rust being the inappropriate for some use. It's that group that overwhelmingly uses this particular falsehood.
