Hi, why y'all switching to Rust?
I mean real question. I used Rust for a year, before learning C.
It was pretty good but the compiler was driving me mad;
The syntax was a bit verbose.

Both are pretty fast as long as you don't use cargo.
It's not a bad concept (a memory safe lang) ut most codebases end up like :

unsafe {
dologic();
}

Do you think one day rust will be better than C?

question

c

rust

    Rust is great. But its a lang you really have to get used to

    Speed isn't the only reason to use it. It's also just so much more ergonomic and pleasant compared to C and C++ imo

    @3dgoosee More modern syntax mostly. C++ has evolved to a point where the obvious syntax is probably wrong (think raw pointers, new/delete, etc.)

    Rust is much newer so it doesn't have a lot of the cruft and baggage (yet :P)

    @12bitfloat I see that completely different. Do you even what modern means? Modern means now and actual. Rust not more modern, it's literally just different. Trying to compete with something made as comfii possible for decades. Wrap and unwrap and?. C'mon.
