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.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.
