> Rust shines when memory safety is critical (OS kernels, cryptography), but in most real-world scenarios, the trade-offs don't justify the pain.
You've got to be kidding me...
Memory safety is a huge benefit in myriad scenarios. I would call it the rule, not the exception. Pair that with competitive performance and you have something really compelling. I don't know enough Rust to really speak to its tradeoffs, but the above just seems like a dumb point to try to make.
And regarding the "hype cycle," Rust is old enough now to have survived many actual software hype cycles, so this claim of us finally getting to the middle of it now, which isn't really justified in the article, also doesn't seem to stick.
This is AI-generated, and seems to just be the standard-flavor C++ cope. Not sure why I should spend any time refuting it or reconsidering my system architecture.
Speaking of manic this is the third time you completely re-write your reply in a few minutes. Relax. Rust is just a faulty programming language not a religion.
Again - there's nothing to refute. The only accusation in the video is that there is some grand conspiracy against C++ users, which would give Chris Lattner a belly laugh.
If it is you recording that video, I hope you get over it. You can find a better way to process your grief than complaining on all three of your HN accounts.

The person recording that video sounds manic and doesn't make any points besides their own feeling of prejudice. It basically confirms my point above.
