I’m seeing teams at Vercel iterate just as fast on Zig, Go, Rust projects as TypeScript & Python ones. The days of language or runtime choice based on human convenience are over. Agents are the new compilers. They compile intent into fast software. TypeScript Related

Guess which one is Rust btw. 🤣 (The point is the language isn't a free lunch for performance. Rust could be just as small as any other here. It isn't a given. Fundamentals and system design trump everything else. Language wars are stupid as hell.) Quoting @mitchellh The Superlogical server is built to run anywhere and everywhere and serve a level of scale (terminals+clients) unmatched w/ prior solutions. So let's start talking about that, starting with memory usage and comparisons to other popular multiplexers. I want to start by talking high level: why does t… Related

Why Rust is different, with Alice Ryhl
5 beliefs, in the piece's order there
documentation
Their words
Now the thing is you can of course write examples in your documentation and Rust makes all examples into tests. This means that if you change the underlying code now your test fails. And so this means that you can't even you can't forget to update your examples in your documentation.

TypeScript
Their words
My opinion is that the least mature area is front end. There have been some attempts to compile Rust to Web Assembly and then run it on the web as a front end as a replacement for TypeScript. But if I was writing a web server, I would totally use Rust for the back end and TypeScript for the front end. I would not really go the web assembly route.

What Rust ensures is that if you have no use of unsafe, then no matter how stupid your code is, you will never have one of those bugs.

Linux
Their words
I think where Rust is really unique is in the combination of things. So on one hand, it it doesn't have a garbage collector and it it's usable in low-level context like the Linux kernel or firmware or whatever.

Why Rust is different, with Alice Ryhl youtube.com
Their words
I think this is kind of leads to another way that Rust really helps with reliability, which is that if you're refactoring, I think Rust is really good at telling you all the places you need to update. I've done this sometimes where I would refactor something. I change the code. I change the return type or whatever it is, and then I just fix the compiler errors and until the compiler stops shouting. And then once I've done that, I've updated every place I need to update.
