To which extent was the implementation in C# benefitting off both the clarified requirements (so the Rust experience could be seen more as prototyping mixed with production)? Was it actually in major parts just a major refactor in a different language (admittedly with much more proven elements)?

Yep, that's precisely it! When dealing with other languages I miss the "match" keyword and being able to open a block anywhere. Sure, sometimes Rust allows you to write terse abominations if you don't exercise a dose of caution and empathy for future maintainers (you included). Other than the great developer experience in tooling and language ergonomics (as in coherent features not necessarily ease of use) the reason…
What language are you using that doesn’t have match? Even Java has the equivalent. The only ones I can think of that don’t are the scripting languages.. Python and JS.

Tokio + Axum + SQLx has been a total game-changer for me for web dev. It's by far the most productive I've been with any backend web stack.
People that haven't tried this are downvoting with prejudice, but they just don't know. Rust is an absolute gem at web backend. An absolute fucking gem.
Another failed game project in Rust. This is sad. I've been writing a metaverse client in Rust for almost five years now, which is too long.[1] Someone else set out to do something similar in C#/Unity and had something going in less than two years. This is discouraging. Ecosystem problems: The Rust 3D game dev user base is tiny. Nobody ever wrote an AAA title in Rust. Nobody has really pushed the performance issues.…
But the real issue is the game devs do not know the gnu toolchain (and llvm based) does default to open source software building for elf/linux targets, and that there is more work, ABIs related, to do for game binaries on those platforms.
But yeah my first thought here was Lua too like others said

Python has it as well.

> I am sure that is mostly access to additional external libraries that did things they wrote by hand in Rust This is the biggest reason I push for C#/.NET in "serious business" where concerns like auditing and compliance are non-negotiable aspects of the software engineering process. Virtually all of the batteries are included already. For example, which 3rd party vendors we use to build products is something that c…
In sectors that are critical here in the EU, nobody allows c# and microsoft due to licensing woes longterm. It's java and foss all the way down. SaaS also is not a thing unless it runs on prem.

C# is a very highly underrated (and oft misunderstood) language that has become more terse as it has aged -- in a very good way. C#'s terseness has not come at the cost of its legibility and in fact, I feel like enhances it in many cases. > The maturity and vast amount of stable historical data for C# and the Unity API mean that tools like Gemini consistently provide highly relevant guidance. This is also a highly un…
C# has aged better but I feel like Java 8 approaching ANSI C level solid tools. If only Swing wasn't so ugly. They should poach Raymond Chen to make Java 8 Remastered I like his blog posts. There's probably a DOS joke in there. Also they should just use the JavaFX namespace so I don't have to change my code and I want the lawyer here to laugh too.

C# is a great language, but it's been hampered by slow transition towards AOT. My understanding (not having used it much, precisely because of this) is that AOT is still quite lacking; not very performant and not so seamless when it comes to cross-platform targeting. Do you know if things have gotten better recently? I think fhat Microsoft had dropped the old .NET platform (CLR and so on) sooner and really nailed the…
