Reasons not to use Rust

Name: Anonymous 2015-04-08 12:21

- You think programming languages should be closed and proprietary
- You like random pauses caused by forced collection of the garbage
- You think program start-up should take minutes so you use stupid VM-languages instead
- You like broken features and memory corruption
- You sell hardware and want to deploy inefficient scripting languages only to sell more
- You only do pure programs that don't interact with the world
- You are a retard who doesn't understand the concept of ownership

Anything else?

- No default int type
- No default string type (ie. confusion about &str vs String)
- No inheritance, which the Servo devs themselves have said is a major problem
- Immutability by default is both nonsensical and overly verbose for low-level code
- The language is overly opinionated about how memory management should work
- The language is overly opinionated about how you should name your variables
- Type inference quickly collapses into chaos in functions where a lot of bindings are introduced
- It's 2015 and we haven't figured out how to get rid of the :: syntax
