I work at Meta and I use tools written in bash, C, Java, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin and Dart daily. I've definitely noticed that some C++ tools are moving to Rust. I would have preferred to see D in its place, but it is what it is.

Personally I'm not a fan of Rust, but it is interesting to see how the language is growing as it hits mainstream. Lots of similarities with Go back when it was cool and hip.

Not that you need to be a fan, but what are your reasons for not liking Rust? As a Rust developer, I'm always curious.

I think its killer feature is the memory safety guarantees, but other than that, I just don't find it as readable as other modern languages, mainly because it's symbol heavy.

Fair, but like any language this becomes a non-issue given enough time with it.

I've never liked the "you'll get used to it" approach to life.

I prefer to make my life harder by pursuing the perfect solution. It has bitten me in the behind multiple times in the past :)

Are your use of Dart related to flutter?

Yeap, our team has a few quick-and-dirty GUI tools in Flutter
