name a single admittedly indispensable tech originally written in rust

@Demolishun you get it. What good is a language as cool as rust where nobody actually manages do build anything really meaningful

@Demolishun

> You can't write other languages in Rust.

Huh? Sure you can!

@Demolishun > maybe Rust itself

Nope, it seems the Rust compiler was originally written in OCaml

@cafecortado it was and it was GORGEOUS 🤤 nowadays... Not so much

Rust initial release was less than ten years ago. Give it a fuckin chance.

@Demolishun I thought you meant to say that it’s not possible write compilers or interpreters for other languages in Rust.

I was gonna say Veloren, though not indispensable, because it's such a cute little game.

But then I remembered the combat still sucks so fuck it a million times until they fix that shit.

@Demolishun you can LMAO 🤣 check this out: https://github.com/JunSuzukiJapan/...

1. indispensability is not a good thing, it's an unnecessary risk
2. Rust is younger than today's core infrastructure
3. Servo is standing to become the second open option in a market dominated by Google, which is a pretty important social role for software to occupy today.

@lorentz huh? what? Rust's about the same age as clojure, go, nim...
