Rust, combined with its’ excellent tooling, is the only language that has managed to make me feel like a genius while writing code. It may not be for everyone, but I personally absolutely love the ergonomics, safety and performance promises the language makes.
Is it though?
For the eighth year in a row, Rust has topped the chart as “the most desired programming language” in Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey.
From the very first sentence of the article.
I don’t know a ton of people who write Rust regularly, but most people at least somewhat familiar with it love the idea of the language.
Though of course actually using the language is a different story, as the compiler can be intimidating.
as the compiler can be intimidating
I thought compiler messages being way better than others was one of the selling points.
Cool! Sounds even more useful than I thought.
