Why You Should Forget About Rust Forever
Rust is a programming language that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among systems programmers. However, there are several reasons why you should forget about Rust forever and consider alternative options.
1. Steep Learning Curve
Rust is known for its steep learning curve, which can be daunting for beginners. The language has a complex syntax and strict rules, making it challenging for newcomers to grasp. If you’re looking for a language that is more beginner-friendly, you may want to consider alternatives like Python or JavaScript.
2. Limited Ecosystem
While Rust has a growing ecosystem, it is still relatively small compared to more established languages like Java or C++. This means that finding libraries and tools for your projects may be more challenging with Rust. If you want access to a wider range of resources and support, you may find other languages more suitable.
3. Lack of Job Opportunities
While Rust is gaining traction in some industries, it is still not as widely adopted as other languages. This means that job opportunities for Rust developers may be limited, particularly in certain regions. If you’re looking for a language that offers more job prospects, you may want to consider learning a more mainstream language like Java or C#.
4. Performance Is Not Everything
Rust is often touted for its performance and memory safety features, but it’s essential to consider whether these benefits outweigh the trade-offs. While performance is crucial in some applications, other factors like developer productivity, ecosystem support, and job opportunities are equally important. It’s essential to weigh these factors when considering which language to use for your projects.
5. Community and Support
The community and support for a language are crucial for its long-term viability. While Rust has a dedicated community, it may not offer the same level of support and resources as more established languages. If you value a strong community and extensive support, you may want to consider alternatives with a larger and more active user base.
In conclusion, while Rust offers several advantages, it may not be the best choice for everyone. Before committing to Rust, consider the steep learning curve, limited ecosystem, job opportunities, and other factors that may impact your decision. It’s essential to evaluate your specific needs and goals to determine whether Rust is the right language for you.
I think this is a bit to satirical for most people….
Fine, I will try to catch exceptions instead.
Bro is saying the exact same script as Berr's Tech and same Title and Thumbnail
Rust came out in 2006. were you working with developer team ?
I learn Rust as my second language after Python as first, and It's not as hard as you say. Just forget about very high level features when you start learning it, and step by step learn what you need, and also it has very friendly documentation not like other languages like Python, C and others can help your learning and understanding of the language. All you need is a Rust LSP which show the documentation, and maybe some skill of RTFM and English.
what a shit video
I hope this was a parody video lol. I mainly use Python and have barely ever touched Rust. IF this video was unironic, then those are some bullshit arguments. If someone wants to know, I'll gladly break down each one of them.
126 likes and over 1k dislikes. Deserved.
Hey bud, this video is really really misleading. First of all please do not even mention javascript when talking about rust. Do not compare apples to oranges. Second, Rust's learning curve is not steep if you are actually dedicated to it. Being someone who barely learnt python and then went onto rust, it was actually pretty easy. Third, cargo is an officially supported build tool in the rust toolchain, you can simply just do `cargo run`. Although i have to admit that rust compile times are garbage. C++ or Go are great for developer efficiency in AOT compiled languages.
dude, you literally plagiarised video of Berr's Tech: Why You Should Forget About Rust Forever.
you even stole his jokes, lmao
For game developing with zombie-horde only C++ or Rust. And absolutly sure that not Python. C# has lags in course of garbage collector. So it is actual to make video "C++ or Rust". But right now Rust in developing progress. It will be better after few years.
Only C++ and Rust have high performance. But Rust is more easy. Also Rust have very useful central free open-source library. And very useful "cargo" progect organizer.
Rust doesnt have a run button? There's not way you used it as an argument…
Okay, first up, I cringed when you said you knew what you were doing, and then you proceeded to use the `rustc main.rs` command instead of the `cargo run` command, which you are supposed to use! Second up, the Windows installation is a little long… yeah… but me on Linux, it only took 30 seconds or so to install. It is really just a Windows issue. It makes sense, Rust isn't the only programming language that needs to install Visual Studio.
I have to say that a majority of this video feels vastly uniformed, and most points can honestly be debunked by unironically saying "skill issue". I love that you've been dabbling with Rust, and I understand that this is likely the average experience of any junior JS developer trying out a systems programming language (even worse when it's Rust). Points like long install times (on Windows furthermore, which will bring an even worse shitstorm to you since a lot of Rust developers are Arch linux elitists) or the absence of a run button show that you didn't do much research and are honestly quite triggering since they either target extremely superficial inconveniences (which are not at all unique in Rust, it anything Rust makes the process almost seamless), or blantly misunderstand the point of the language and the problems it fixes.
I'm sorry for adding to the negative comments, I genuinely wish you good luck with continuing your developer journey 😀
You can also make memory leaks with cyclic strong references
holy crap. you complain about run button ? You are probably a real noob at programming.
What is the point of this video? The thumbnail and title make it seem like your going to propose an argument as to why Rust isn't as good as people say it is, which is why I clicked. Instead of that there is an incredibly surface level video with very little knowledge shared and no real argument made beyond "took 15 minutes to install" and "steep learning curve."
they say all the orange cat in this world shares one single braincell. you are a cute orange cat
misleading.
