replybut I see your point.
I believe a true engineer should love problems not only languages. But it seems like majority of Rust devs only love the language and try to convert all the problems into Rust problems.
replyIf you have problems in C/C++? Write Rust.
If you have problems in Python? Use Rust.
If you have an issue with your product? Rewrite it in Rust.
Is your company in pinch? Launch a new product in Rust.
If you burn your finger while you’re cooking? Write Rust.
If you have a mental problem? Read a Rust book.
You don’t have a girl friend? You have Rust next to you.
If you hate yourself? Writing Rust will solve your life problems.

Because they predate HN, and aren't hip languages any longer.
replyThere was a time for CoffeeScript, PureScript, Elm, Ruby and whatever else you can think of.
Naturally Lisp has to have monthly entries.
/s
Because nowadays "written in Rust" means "written by AI", as Java or C are not so sexy for LLMs /s
replyNot really true, I've had LLMs write hundreds of thousands of lines of C just fine, including stripping out Rust deps out of projects I use. :)
