Best fact: Rust users are apparently called Rustaceans. I did not know this, and have never seen this wonderful term before.
I love my Python but "Pythonista" makes me think I'm selling beverages with funny names for their sizes. I love the demonym for Rust!
and probably, you are ;)

However, it is still a new programming language. As well as golang. This has its pros and cons. However, in cases where people say that some language is bad, it means that it simply does not fit their tasks. (sorry, im using google translate)
> However, in cases where people say that some language is bad, it means that it simply does not fit their tasks. I disagree. It is possible for a language to simply be a bad language. Intercal is intentionally so. I will refrain from mentioning unintentionally bad languages in order to avoid a flame war.
In fact, the flame wars can also be useful as an advertisement.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Also the language was named after a fungus :-D
Rust?
For me, A totally cs newbee, the Rust team has established a great community. I have learned a lot from the e-mentor(contribute to rust or rust lib directly with the guidelines from rust core developers). Now I’m the founder of Rustacean group in my school.
Rustacean, that's the first time of heard of that name. Absolutely fantastic

I enjoy Doctor Who (though it's been getting worse for the last 5 or so years) but I do NOT want to be called a Whovian.
What's the first image that pops into your head when I say "Trekkie"? It's probably not someone with good health and hygiene, is it?
Rustaceans? Would recruiting agencies go for that in job ads? "Are you a top rustacean and looking for a challenge in AI and Big Data and want to work in an international team with young and dynamic rustaceans? "
Fun hip dev shops can call them Rustaceans. Stodgy old conservative shops can call them Rust developers. Everybody is understood, everybody wins!

Now, my predicament: I love Rust's type system and tooling, but it's really hard to justify to myself the pain of writing correct Rust code (borrowing, lifetimes, etc.) when I know I can get almost the same effect by using a GC language + immutable messages.
And I don't need that last drop of performance either.
So if you just want a native language with a good type system and a growing ecosystem, where do you go? Still Rust or something else?
