So... dev blames skill issues on language? Classic.
Ha they literally said about 5 times in this page that people often say "it's just a skill issue"... and here you are.
I love Rust but the author's points are 100% valid.
OP is talking about a different kind of skill issue than the article. The article is about skill issues in writing Rust code, while OP is about skill issues in choosing the right technology for the right task.
Not picking Rust for code that has to be prototyped quickly and iterated a lot is kinda obvious. The solution would be to use Rust for the core engine where the requirements are clear and something else (lua? Python?) for the gameplay code. Even the engine the author wants to switch to does the same with with the divide between C++ and C#.
Well you could write code in a Ancient Greek if you want, but most people would go for English. :)
I've found that some developers enjoy picking more difficult languages because it's an intellectual challenge they enjoy, and that's fine, but some also enjoy calling others stupid because they don't enjoy the same things. That's small dick energy. :)
Are you responding to my comment or just speaking stream of consciousness?
