> see a new programing language > look inside > it's rust

asking out of my own ignorance, what's so hard with rust that you cannot convince people and contribute to that directly instead of going on your way? i remember so few of these projects survived over the years. do you think it'll really become something other than your pet project?

Rust is just hard.

It takes the fun out of this. I like JavaScript and Python. If I need to type system, there’s always type script and C#.

I don’t care about a bunch of memory management details, and if I ever want to I might as well use C++ and become a quant.

I learn a new programming language for one of two reasons, there’s a framework or engine that requires it. For example, Godot with GD script.

Or to make more money.

Python was a very happy mix of both, I learned it to work with ML libraries as a hobby and later found it pays a lot more.
