Lol, I appreciate well-thought out disagreement. You may be right about VR ... possibly it's too early. But it's day will come, undeniably. I also think full legalization of marijuana is undeniable, even if there are some roadblocks.
Rust, as far as I know, is the only language trying to pursue compile-time memory safety while still giving the developer control over memory allocation and cleanup. That's absolutely a game-changer, and no other language (that I know of) is even trying to tackle it.
There's a lot I don't love about Rust, but that one feature trumps everything. There are sexy languages I get excited about (Nimrod, Lisp, Haskell), but the feature the world needs most is memory-safety with low-level control.
I think once that feature is delivered with a full release, the world will flip from "ho hum" to "holy crap, we have to have this."

- StavrosK 13y agoDoes that mean that Rust would be a good candidate for writing security/crypto libraries in?
- steveklabnik 13y agoIn theory, yes.
