What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.
I will never seriously consider it as a language, no matter how hard glowzilla tries to prop it up. No stable language standard exists and only a single implementation, the entire ecosystem revolves around an on-line package repository, the compiler is too heavy to run on anything resembling an embedded platform, the toolchain barely compiles on anything other than x86_64, it's wedded to llvm, the only improvement over Ada would be the built-in reference tracking, its community often deliberately codes around language safety feature, i could go on…
I don't like how most of the projects I have seen written in Rust are MIT and not GPL (or overall the general culture), and how the std library is 500MB, I don't like having to install that to compile a program…
Typst is written in it and it is nice
What happened with the kernel this year? I knew there is a small bit of rust in it but nothing concrete
