Post anything negative about rust, or anything about a severe bug in some non-rust code, for examples of your own

I have nothing against rust, although the learning curve is too steep and development in rust is too slow to be a practical general purpose language for a regular company.

The culture around dependencies also means you pay for your memory safety by increased supply chain risk.

Golang or Java gets you memory safety, faster compilation, easy hiring and have better standard libraries

I completely agree with your criticisms. I've been saying many of the same things about rust for years on HN. But I'm rarely downvoted for saying so.

FWIW, I also really like rust. I personally much prefer it over Go and Java. But those are still very legitimate criticisms.
