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

    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

            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.
