My take on a summary: like C/C++, Rust can be relevant in a variety of use-cases and one could conceivably build a long-term career on it, while adjusting to market/technology interests.
Seems like a reasonable prediction?
Thanks, that’s reasonable to say, much more reasonable than “Rust is the one true language that is right for everything”. No idea about long term careers in anything related to programming, because of AI displacing every sort of knowledge work. But Rust will probably stay relevant for a while.
Certainly, the concept of building a career around a programming language has always been unsound. Good programmers know lots of languages and can pick up new ones as the need arises.
If you want to study one language as a means of absorbing new ideas, I’d suggest Haskell rather than Rust. You probably won’t get to use it at work directly, but it will make you a better programmer in general. learnyouahaskell.com is a good place to start.
The stuff here is way more professionally important than being good at Rust or any other language: https://antirez.com/news/112
Good article, thanks for the link! In the context of this conversation, I can agree that being exposed to different ways of solving problems will make you better and faster at doing just that.
I saw this the other day. After clicking your link i left a comment but essentially Rust is Rust, it’s more that C/C++ is at the end of its life. But i get the title aiming to mean Rust is taking over C’s role, Rust is a completely differnt beast
Not to be rude but - if you actually watched the video, you would know that the meaning behind the title is something completely different than “Rust taking over C’s role”.
Your not being rude. You are just wrong, I watched it twice once before you posted when the video was about 6 minutes old, and again when you posted it. I just confirmed that it isn’t a new C.
If you really watched it - can you tell me in one sentence what the video creator really meant with the title “Rust is the New C”. It’s not that Rust is a literal replacement for C.
No
Cuz you haven’t watched it.
Do you often attempt to but fail to deduct things, you don’t have the skills to perform, or is this a first?
huh
It’ll never be the “New C”, even Rust doesn’t claim to be one. C++ on the other hand😅
You haven’t watched the video. If you did - you would know what the title really means instead of assuming it means being a literal replacement for C.
@MITM0 @TypicalHog some people say Zig will be the new C…
Those people are even crazier
Please watch the video before disliking it just because of the title.
