Cool! Sounds even more useful than I thought.
Is it though?
In the large yearly stack overflow survey it has been the “most loved programming language” for the past 8 years in a row and at the moment its admiration is only growing. I don’t see anything stop this streak anytime soon. For good reasons.
For the eighth year in a row, Rust has topped the chart as “the most desired programming language” in Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey.
From the very first sentence of the article.
What’s your opinion of Ruby?.
Probably the most beautiful-looking language, but doesn’t have great performance. Also it’s not strictly typed, and garbage-collected. I used to use it for scripts, but now I just script in rust.
Yep, it is.
I don’t know a ton of people who write Rust regularly, but most people at least somewhat familiar with it love the idea of the language.
Though of course actually using the language is a different story, as the compiler can be intimidating.
as the compiler can be intimidating
I thought compiler messages being way better than others was one of the selling points.
Compiler messages are first in class, but the borrow checker still makes for quite a brutal learning curve
Rust, combined with its’ excellent tooling, is the only language that has managed to make me feel like a genius while writing code. It may not be for everyone, but I personally absolutely love the ergonomics, safety and performance promises the language makes.
