How Memory safety approaches speed up and slow down development velocity
I don&#x27;t think this article is that interesting because it&#x27;s really biased, and doesn&#x27;t even try to catch any kind of nuance, especially regarding Rust.<p>Developer velocity in Rust is a complex topic, and yes sometimes Rust will slow you down, but sometimes also it makes you move much faster. You can find a lots of testimonial in all directions, the majority of Rust users having a good opinion on Rust on that topic (but we&#x27;re biased too). But somehow this article only chose to quote people complaining about developer velocity with the language and completely ignore the other (and larger) group of developers, praising the language user experience and development velocity.<p>I don&#x27;t think Rust is perfect, and I think that people talking about how “Rust is the most loved language on Stack overflow for the past N years” isn&#x27;t really constructive. But a collection of cherry-picked quotes showing how Rust is in fact a disaster isn&#x27;t bringing anything interesting to the discussion either…
