alt Hacker NewsThe annoying thing about Rust, or at least the hype around Rust, is that people want to in use it for bloody everything.
We have absolutely no need for it at work. We're writing micro services that run in K8s with no extreme performance requirements. Nobody on the team knows the language (I know it better than the people arguing for it, and I don't know more then the basics). And yet, every couple of weeks, I'm having to talk someone out of switching certain services over to it. It's like a damn disease.
Because the attraction of rust is powerful. The same toolkit allows you to write code for a microcontroller or a full fat arm webserver, the rules are the same and the language is strong.
The best bit about writing rust is the reason why it kinda sucks for corporations. You can "finish" your code
