Rust is a tiring programming language.

    Agreed. I like it a lot, but the compiler is a total bitch, sometimes it can take more than an hour to figure out how to make the thing compile (that's probably entirely my fault though). I like rust, but developing software in it is very time consuming.

    @johnMurdoch that's an unprofessional attitute.

    @thebiochemic not really.you don't have to know every language in existence.

    @thebiochemic disagree. Context: I am already familiar with several programming languages focussing on different aspects (frontend, backend, scripting, data science,..), so I am quite sure I will never have to learn rust.

    i didn't imply that. It's just unprofessional to block something off, only because you don't know it. You might or might not work with that stuff, that doesn't matter.

    but not even trying and simply denying some language sounds quite unprofessional to me.

    @johnMurdoch
    yes i know that, but it doesn't help to block off all the rest. I know every language has it's area of best performance, and keeping a small set of good working tools together sounds good in general. But outright saying i don't want to because it's unknown sounds childish to me, sry.

    i don't use rust myself a lot, (because i prefer C) but i have atleast coded a bit in it, to have my own view on it.

    You need to get "over the bump". It's very steep at first, but once you're over the top (which will take even the best of us a couple of months), it's smooth sailing.

    Or well... Smoother than a C or C++ 😜

    But yeah, pretty much everybody acknowledges the steep curve and it's natural for a language that has so many new things.

    @Geoxion I totally agree with and acknowledge this.
