As C++ devs, I think it's important that we consider using a safer, more functional language everywhere we can. Rust does this very well, to the point where me enumerating its benefits would be redundant. The point I want to make is that, if there's ever a choice between C++ and Rust, and some niche features like template meta-programming aren't required, Rust is the safer, more modern option. If Nix is ever to adopt Rust, as a C++ replacement or otherwise, there's no better time than the present. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
