That's a great question! I would probably restate it though. What is research vs. a product. I just read about 1nm transistors, but we're probably looking at 10 years before Intel, et al, have built all the infrastructure to reliably deliver a CPU based on it. In the case of a language, I would say it's similar, do you have the support infrastructure in place? Rust is amazing in this regard: Cargo, crates.io, docs.rs, rustup, etc. on top of that you have at least one large company and many others pushing the language in a large and distributed product. I would classify Rust as a production ready coding platform. |

It seems very obvious now. I was thinking the purpose of the language was for performing research, but that didn't make much sense. I see now that it's the language itself that is the subject of research, not the tool. English is fun.
