I had a small look at rust this morning and thought it looked interesting, after seeing the speed of the language I started learning it. here I am 3 hours later conclusion: I LOVE IT

Dunno, looks rusty to me hehe

I had a small look at rust this morning too.

And decided it should last for another year!

Saw it few months ago, love at first glance

Out of curiosity, where is rust being used? game dev.? robotics?

that i find the most anoying aspect of open source software projects... the lack of advertisment of usecases which explains why this language or libary, was buildt and what problem it solves.

so like muhammed i'd like to know whats the main usecase for rust. :)

@heyheni @mohammed At the moment it hasn't been used for much, 1.0 only came out last year.

http://www.piston.rs/ is very fast game engine written in rust, and it doesn't even use many optimisations yet.

The main thing rust is used for at the moment though is Servo https://github.com/servo/servo created by Mozilla (developers of firefox) and are rewriting firefox in rust now.

Although it may not be used much, it is really useful anywhere C/C++ is needed for performance and memory management.

@heyheni With performance reaching the level of C, it seems one could target drivers for devices, IoT hw, or basically anything which touches bare metal. Why not C? I think they advertised that quite well.
