Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language
These days I code primarily in C++, which is what Rust seemingly is designed to replace. It doesn't, as far as I can tell. I optimize directly for the hardware I'm running on, which typically gives me 10-100x performance improvements. Controlling how memory is managed is critical.<p>It's great when something new and better comes along if that's really the case, but I've seen the "incrementally better in certain use cases" play many times before.
