Probably would still use TypeScript, because I use that for work. 🤷♂️ Rust just seems like… a lot. Regarding Rust, I’ve seen a lot of praises and a not so insignificant amount of complaints that make me very hesitant to take the plunge. Can’t remember off the top of my head what it was, specifically, but it was enough for me to write it off, that much I remember.
People really overstate it, it’s not that hard. It has a reputation of being difficult because people use it for difficult, low-level tasks, OS stuff, parsers, cryptography, highly optimised serialisation, but those things would be hard in any language. For a newcomer it’s, IMO, way easier than say C++, because it doesn’t have a mindbogglingly huge std lib with decades of changing best practices to try to figure out. To do simpler things in it is really pretty straightforward, especially if you’re already comfortable with a robust type system.
I would because I know TypeScript and I don’t know Rust.
ok but then you can’t do Rust, so this does not apply.
but if you did… !
