 You really stretched everything to fit your narrative. Rust didn't appear out of nowhere; it borrowed a lot from ML, and ML languages have periodically gained popularity before Rust and without any business involvement.

 yeah, before, but mozilla definitely was throwing a lot into popularizing it

where is our Servo browser then? written in Rust? hah

nope, but it's added even more tooling you need to actually build mozilla browser from source

for me everything that has objects is already trash, that is a model that has been proven to only complicate compilation and cost a lot in development idle time

the fact i spent two months trying to learn it and could barely implement a microservice tells me that it's a waste of time piece of shit garbage that is overhyped and loved by shitcoiners

just the shitcoiner love alone turns me off it

and this is from someone who constantly bitches about btcd and lnd repos, which are a demonic hellscape

if i ran a software dev company and had loads of money to hire devs i'd be forking and fixing those dumpster fires, i've worked on the codebase for almost 3 years solid (btcd, a fork of it) and i fixed some things but it's just so bad

 also i didn't even mention plan9, which heavily guides into Go's design, the first network native operating system that sadly got lost in the netscape/mosaic war
