> However, I'd pick Rust when the team isn't scared of learning to program for real.

I've been learning Rust. It's elegant, and I am enjoying it.

The Rust people however are absolutely annoying though. Never have I seen such a worse group of language zealots.



I can't speak for other Rust programmers but I can speak for myself.

I obviously enjoy programming Rust and I like many of the choices it made, but I am well aware of the tradeoffs Rust has made and I understand why other languages chose not to make them. Nor do I think Rust functions equally as well in every single use case.

I imagine most Rust users think like this, but unfortunately there seems to be a vocal minority who hold very dogmatic views of programming who have shaped how most people view the Rust community.


Guess I am scared to program for real since I don't use a "real" language like Rust. What a wild statement to make.
