Is rust very geared towards writing network applications (like Go is to some extent) and lacking in other areas, or would you recommend it as a general language? I'm always curious about new languages, but my needs are mostly in maths/scientific computing. Would Rust prove a good (or at least OK) match?
- swah 12y agoI guess so. Do you know if Rust has bignum? What do you use now?

- klibertp 12y agoJust give it a try - my guess is that it will fare similarly to modern C++, excluding libraries availability.
