I truly do not understand this Rust-for-all-problems mentality.
I was under the impression that Rust was essentially the next generation of C, meant for things like compilers, embedded systems, and other places where memory truly matters.
Why are we shoehorning it into things like REST APIs and frontend frameworks? One look at that syntax and I'd think anyone could see it's not the right tool for the job, even if there room for disruption in those spaces.
+1. I’m all for using the right tool for the job. It seems like all these technologies are to cater to specific niche of engineers and that’s the exact reason why they don’t have the longevity.
