#3Rust is certainly not the last word in systems programming languages, but it's an huge leap forward from C and C++. To be honest, it's a sad reflection of our industry that it's taken this long to get basic safety + ML circa 1975 language features into this niche. If things had turned out a little bit different we could all have been using OCaml for the past few decades.

#4Projects adopting rust makes contributing less fun and more painful
I tried to work on bug fix for Zed, waiting 30 seconds everytime you change a value was _very_ painful

Re: I Hope Rust Does Not Oxidize Everything
#7This is my current mental model for picking a language, considering just the language itself:
- Backends: Gleam or other BEAM
- Web frontend: Gleam
- Mobile apps: Dart + Flutter
- Specialized mobile apps: Swift and Kotlin
- Blazing fast: Zig
- Blazing fast and safest: Rust
- Fast performance and iteration: Go
Would love to hear additions and corrections.
My only problem with this is I'm not a fan of Go's syntax and I wonder what's a good alternative. Heared good things about OCaml but didn't check it out yet.

I feel like you could stand to qualify "fun" more here. I don't share your experience - I'll take a Rust project any day - but I'm curious to know what you feel is missing.
(Outside of compile times, which are a well known point)

Readable would be a nice benefit.

There’s no reason you couldn’t have a rust jit for development then compile the code for production (or stick with a jit for prod too).
