Rust is an unergonomic language that slows development in the general case (because it has lots of arcane syntax and rules, and people generally don't know it). Suggesting it as the "obvious" choice ignores the tradeoffs that come with adopting it for a project.
- koakuma-chan 9mo agoYou can just hire people who know Rust. One Rust developer would likely end up more productive than ten Cursor baby sitters in the long run, and you would actually get a high quality app.
- wredcoll 9mo agoThis is like some kind of psy-op to get people to hate rust.
- koakuma-chan 9mo agoSure. Then good companies will be able to filter out people by only hiring those who know Rust.

- koakuma-chan 9mo agoNo marketing can save humanity from its inevitable demise.
- yakshaving_jgt 9mo agoYeah but Rust can’t either.
