Two years of Rust
Congratulations to the Rust team for the great work!<p>The impact of Rust on the programming safety community has grown so big that even hardcore Ada developers are getting really nervous about Rust's powerful competition.<p><a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.ada/H35QcYiWR1Y" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.ada/H35QcY...</a><p>Although Nim and Lisp are still more productive than Rust for my use cases -- Rust really needs a convenient edit-compile-debug cycle, and also an easy bootstrap from source mechanism -- I am watching Rust's development with pleasure.<p>I am pretty convinced that within the next ten years Rust will not only cause a serious decline of C++ but also eat a big portion from Ada's lunch in safety critical applications.
