Some people just drink the cool aid and decide they have found their new Lord and savior in a programming language. Others just add a new tool to their toolbox.

And some people pretend Rust is literally Satan, because the Code of Conduct, meanwhile companies like Twitter use it, projects like Ladybird use it, etc.

The Linux Kernel uses it too. Its not a hype, and adoption is happening in real time.

I know. My main grief with it is that it should have been a memory safe language closer in looks and paradigm with C, but many of those alternatives are still new. Would have solved some of the drama surrounding Rust integration.

Can 100% agree with it. Rusts type system is very unique and quite unusual especially when coming from C

It's certainly different than C, but IMO Rust's type system is also a dramatic improvement.

I am still learning Rust, so I can Not really say that much about it, but especially when considering things like Error handling it seems very good. No more returning invalid values. You just return a Result type and implement error handling based on that.

Rust is the future. Notice how the C design committees are scrambling to replicate what rust does while C continues to lay eggs everywhere it goes
