Disclaimer: I pretty much don’t like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

    I am starting to learn Rust and the only reason I don’t intend on using it for GUI stuff for the time being is because I just like QtWidgets a lot and GUI toolkits in Rust are a pretty new thing.

    Apart from that, pretty much all logic can benefit from a language that forces people to be more explicit.

    Although I won’t consider it for larger projects until the borrow checker gets the overhaul it needs, because I’d rather not start hating another language.

      What about the borrow checker needs an overhaul? Seems to do it’s job quite well. If you want to remove it then you should use like C++ or Zig or something since the borrow checker is fairly fundemenal to the design of the language

        This is second hand info, but some people have had problems in bigger projects where the borrow checker ends up rejecting valid Rust code.

        I think I have seen those comments right here in Lemmy.
