> With Rust, even after months of working daily in the language, most people on the team never felt fully competent. A number of devs told me they were often embarrassed that it was taking longer than they expected for their features to land and that they were spending so long trying to wrap their heads around Rust. Very unsurprising. Rust is a bad choice to use when building a typical CRUD app especially when you are not making any money. So when I saw this about immature libraries: > Rust, by comparison, has long felt like a work in progress. The docs for a lot of popular libraries are pretty sparse, and one often needs to read the source code of a given library to understand how to use it. This is bad. I just couldn't help but say that someone has finally cut through the hype, and experienced the reality of the immature state of the library ecosystem in Rust rather than pretending that it is fine; especially for a startup which can result in the failure of feature delivery and of itself. This cargo culting of programming languages promised by a fan club or hype squad of any new language needs to stop. |
