    My point is simply that it’s probably not worth it to add another language. Doesn’t have anything to do with Rust really.

    Though I do think that the language is a bit over hyped. It’s obvious companies and projects used to say they’re using Rust, not just because they want to attract young developers or like the language, but because it’s a way to get VC. Like AI and blockchain.

    I do like Rust. But mostly because it encourages functional style programming. And the tooling is of course awesome. Especially compared to C and C++. However, I do believe that static pure functional languages are superior to Rust.
