I appreciate that. It has some good details. Gotta leave to get some work done but I&#x27;ll take the time to drop you a compliment related to this:<p>&quot;Edit: also worth adding that he Rust core team has been amazingly friendly and helpful. We&#x27;ve had several meetings with them where they came to our office and basically said &quot;how&#x27;s it going? what do you need? open up your laptop and show us your biggest problem.&quot; The project is under very good management.&quot;<p>When Rust was being developed, the two languages that got me most excited as next-gen, systems tech were Julia mainly and Nim somewhat. They had a great choice of features balancing all sorts of attributes as PL&#x27;s that <i>might</i> get easy adoption as C++ alternatives. Thing is, many blog posts reported their communities and dev teams were downright vicious on everything from questions to compiler bugs (wtf!?). That made it a no-go as there&#x27;s an upper-bound on how good those projects can get building on such a creaky, hostile foundation.<p>That leaves Rust as my default recommendation for new, non-critical projects in this space. Like Dropbox employee, what I&#x27;ve noticed is the two of you on Rust teams here are unusually helpful and respectful compared to many in PL communities defending their work. Even pcwalton when he&#x27;s clearly less than happy with my comments. ;)<p>The combination of brilliant design and seemingly (from my little exposure) excellent community is why I promote Rust. So, keep up the great work all of you! :)
