Doesn’t Kotlin or Swift offer those things?
I agree Rust is a great language (and has many great things besides its safety protections) but I do think that putting it everywhere when it isn’t necessary is dangerous.
If one doesn’t exist already, someone should make a rust-like language with garbage collection.
EDIT: Thanks to reading other comments, I remembered Elixir, which offers a lot of the concurrency safety of rust without the memory risks.
- sgeisenh 4y agoRust is an interesting mix. OCaml gets pretty close and type inference offers better ergonomics. The fearless concurrency story is still much better in Rust than OCaml.
- nicoburns 4y agoKotlin is probably also a good choice (but it ties you do the JVM, which does come with some operational headaches of it's own). Swift would be a fantastic language for this kind of work, but unfortunately it's library ecosystem isn't on nearly the same level as Rust's for backend web.
