Critical Question

Lol, the Tor Project is currently rewriting the entire Tor core in Rust (a project called Arti) specifically because it is safer than the original C code.

The current EndGame captcha logic is done in Rust.

You wonder why you aren't well received here on tforum. /u/pgpfreak gave you a great response to your initial question and you shot it down like you knew more.

As I heard, Rust is nice for native apps, maybe APIs, low-level programming, since it's a staticly-typed language (if u don't know what that means, in JavaScript or Python or PHP, you aren't required to specify type of the variable you are writing, this isn't the case with C/C++ and Lua & Rust and others).

Thanks.

My thought exactly (not about my response being great - thanks! - but about his behavior). Saw the other thread, no wonder why he's victim of "racism". The other comment is even worse. I'm down for KKK if it's about this kind of asshole.

Great responses from you also :) Probably better even. Rust is my current hobby but as you said, any language will do as long the attack surface is well under control.

if u don't know what that means

Yes I do, thanks. Most people in this sub also. You sound like you know better though.

Thank you!

As far as Rust goes, it's minimalist and fast as fuck. Two components that rarely go hand in hand (safely), which is one of the reasons I dig it.

Rust is a great systems language (arguably the best), but definitely "overkill" for a webserver. You can make websites in Rust, but it's a bad recommendation to give to a beginner. Remember that ultimately what determines the speed of your program is the efficiency of the code that you write. If you use .clone() on everything in your Rust program, there's a good chance it'll be slower than the same program written in Java or Go by someone who knows what they're doing.

I concur. Maybe not up to "overkill" (not on the DN, anyway), however Rust is definitively much more difficult to learn as other viable alternatives. As I mentioned in this other comment /post/420485106b060cbc7e0c#c-84b3f492493f7de8dc, it's my latest obsession but there are plenty of options that will fit OP's need - possibly better. That being said, Hyper was really simple to set up and I'd argue there's room for building solid web frameworks with it.

you wrong because its widely used and so good, since node been released in 2009 big companies uses it, netflix, paypal, linkedin etc.
