100% agreed. After writing Rust as my day job and using it in production for the last 2 years, my only criticism is the lack of a good high level standard library (like Go) and the insanity and fragmentation of Future type signatures. Though at this point, I wish I could write everything in Rust - it's fantastic Also, I can't wait to (practically) use it as a replacement for JavaScript on the web

  It's great for web servers and build tools but has work to do on the client side. It's difficult or impossible to write GUI applications in Rust (despite that being a great use case via macros and fearless concurrency)

    System76 trying to do that with their Cosmic DE (for PopOS)[0]. Hopefully that will change soon. (Well for linux) [0]: https://system76.com/cosmic/ https://system76.com/cosmic/

  Last I checked, WASM support isn't quite there, yet, basically. I haven't checked in a little while, though.

      container2wasm c2w might already compile rust to WASI WASM? https://github.com/container2wasm/container2wasm https://github.com/container2wasm/container2wasm
