Rust 1.17
Hey, folks!
I have never used Rust but all the buzz around it made me curious, so I may ask you to forgive my ignorance on the matter. I have a few honest questions about it and I&#x27;m pretty sure these questions were answered before, so feel free to point me to this resources, I&#x27;d appreciate very much.<p>First of all what&#x27;s the point of Rust? OK, it&#x27;s a systems language, but what does that even mean? You can write a system in any language right? Python is a scripting language and lots of people use it everyday to write systems. What problems is it trying to solve? Also how does it compare to Go? (I haven&#x27;t used either one or another). It seems to me that both Go and Rust are mainly used by C&#x2F;C++ folks that want a new shiny language that somehow resemble the syntax or structure or funcionality of the former and at the same time add some modern features (I might be totally wrong by presuming this).<p>From the perspective of other languages I know a little bit such as Ruby, Python or JS  its syntax seems really bloated  to me with all those specials symbols. Do you feel more productive writing software in it than in let&#x27;s say JS?
Please keep in mind that I really don&#x27;t know Rust (nor I&#x27;ve never tried a statically-typed language) and I don&#x27;t mean to offend anyone.<p>Thank you guys!
