Rust is probably the best programming language I will never use.
Most of the chances I get to experiment with new languages is in small and/or personal projects. None of those projects ever benefit from manual memory management so the main selling point of Rust (safe memory management without GC) is actually just a hindrance.
- kbart 12y agoI'm sure Rust will be adapted to various boards for enthusiasts as soon as stable version appears and it will be suitable for small personal projects. There even have been some tries[1] and Zinc still looks pretty active[2]. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8035293 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8035293 2. https://github.com/hackndev/zinc/graphs/commit-activity https://github.com/hackndev/zinc/graphs/commit-activity
