    Rust has a lot of buzz in the internet. But in real life I visit a job board and see the following numbers:
    c++ - 138
    python - 182
    java - 235
    c# - 199
    golang - 52
    rust - 5

    Who in sane mind wants to get 5 job proposals instead of hundreds? So almost none will invest time into learning Rust. The same goes from the company perspective: do you want your product to get locked with a not widespread technology and hard to find developers?

      Forget borrow checkers, static typing etc... the key point is this:

      Welcoming open-source community
      • Community that works to be welcoming, inclusive, and friendly

        \s
      Doesn't mean we have to welcome all kinds of trash spewed out every couple of months.

        It's in Linux.
        Those numbers are going to shoot up dramatically in the coming years, just from that alone. Never mind Microsoft and Amazon's commitment to it. And it's in Chromium now too.
        It's massively widespread. You don't realize that because you're looking at jobs about maintaining 20 year old software and going "where's all the rust?", you sound like a pointy-haired boss.

          No. Carbon oxidizes, but rust is oxidized iron.

            That's the worst of both worlds. The borrow checker is the feature to like in Rust. Everything else in it is... OK, I guess, but I wouldn't migrate for it. If you're gonna migrate for syntax sugar alone, then you may as well aim higher and hope for some Python-like language.
            The borrow checker is its worst feature.

              It's opposite to widespread and I showed you the proof. And numbers aren't going high in near future. It's like a chicken-egg problem: no jobs, no developers, no products.

                Tell your mommy she raised an idiot because safety like security is one of the most bland terms that like shit can be thrown at anything and stick for a while.

                  I'm starting to think you're furiously enraged at Rust because you're refusing to sit down and learn how it works.

                      You can count them on fingers. While there are so many companies using Java, Python or C++ that you couldn't fit them in a single post on this forum.
