Microsoft to Explore Using Rust
It's interesting that someone in Microsoft is talking about Rust, but the article is very flawed. For example,> C#, a programming language developed by Microsoft, also features some memory access improvements but is not as advanced as Rust. [..] Besides [Rust] being superior to C# in regards to better memory protectionsThat's false, isn't it? C# is a memory safe language, period. It relies on GC for that.In fact C# has arguably better memory safety than Rust because you can do things safely in C# that you would be forced to use 'unsafe' in Rust for. (Granted, then you have overhead from GC, but that's not what the author is talking about.)> Rust is also more popular with developers these days and might be easier to recruit for.The author has misinterpreted what "most loved" means in the quoted survey: it means that among Rust developers, it gets a very high rating. That says nothing about how big that group is, nor how popular it is in the general population of developers.The Rust community is growing but still very small - it's an emerging language. Almost everyone that uses it decided to use it because they like it. (That doesn't diminish the accomplishment - there are other emerging languages that are not as loved by their users.)
