This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I’m still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

    Damn, the author sure knows how to ramble. No wonder they can’t make a game with Rust, they’re too busy talking about making a game.

    If you’re going to actually give a useful critique, organize your thoughts into a succinct narrative instead of making a giant list of rambling bullet points.

      Thank you for your comments. They were actually more sane than most.

      The absolutely unnecessary mini-freakouts that happen every time someone rambles like this never ceases to amuse. Some gems always surface from them though, so it’s all good.

      The best part of this storm in a teacup is that it came from the industry where the ratio of estimated self-importance to the real relevance of what they do reaches infinity. It doesn’t get better than that.


      I would like to extend my welcome to all the readers and commentators who are not !rust@programming.dev regulars. Please remember to subscribe before leaving this thread. Thank you.
