Would you be able to share examples of these "shot down proposals"?
I personally haven't found Rust that difficult to prototype in, when I need to I just liberally use clone/Arc/RefCell.
I see the main benefit of these scripting languages as being able to write/run code at runtime, e.g. live coding music or mods for video games.
- perrygeo 2y ago> I personally haven't found Rust that difficult to prototype in Rust is actually a pretty nice language for prototyping IMO. I agree with your take - Rust has many escape hatches you can use to develop quickly. Then when it comes time to clean up, it's obvious where the deficiencies are (look for all the clones and unwraps, etc) > I see the main benefit of these scripting languages as being able to write/run code at runtime Thank you. Some commenters seem to think a scripting language somehow reveals some deficiency in the core language. Reality: not all code is available at compile time. Many applications need some way to inject code without recompiling.
