LOVE seeing stuff about Rust.
I'm at a junction where I've been using Scala happily, but it falls down for numerical work because it can't call C libraries using large arrays without copying, because of the different memory layout used by the JVM vs. C, which really hurts for large data.
- dysoco 14y agoI'm also a Scala fan looking fowards to Rust. Have you tried Go? I really like it too.
- sixbrx 14y agoI haven't tried it, but I've heard good things about the experience and the performance. It didn't seem very functional though when I first looked at it which is what I was interested in at the time. There's something to be said though for being able to write programs that will already be doing real work before the pinky finger has released the return key that launched them, I like the feel of that and I've missed that with the JVM.
