  • We always hear how great Rust is, but I’d be curious to know where it isn’t.

    • In any project that’s sufficiently advanced and written in any other language. You don’t simply do a rewrite of 100k+ LOC just because you want to use Rust.

    • Somewhere where you’d rather use a scripting language like Python. I.e., rapid prototyping or gluing together some infra components.

    • A situation where your team’s expertise is in some other language.

    • A situation where a library/framework is native/only available for a certain language.

    Few of these are strictly technical requirements. It’s obvious that you can use almost any language to do almost anything, including Rust, if that’s what you prefer. However, the context matters in the real world.

    All this being said, I wish I had a chance to write Rust professionally. It’s a neat language.







  • The good thing about Lemmy is that it’s open source. Community requests are easy to make and will be discussed. Creating third party apps should not be an issue either.

    The bad thing about Lemmy, on the other hand, is that it’s open source. There’s no VC funding to hire hundreds of overpaid developers to fix things quickly, so we just have to be a bit patient and give the devs time to make the necessary changes.
