I saw the comic making fun of Rust on another post. I'm super fascinated with farm automation, and particularly for assisting polyculture/permaculture/regenerative farming methods.
I was personally leaning towards learning rust specifically for making a system more rugged and stable. I'm curious your thoughts about it before I put the time and effort.
All right. I have friends who like rust. And is pretty successful... But I'm lean towards c and c++ because I can have lots of control of the underlying architecture and not have to depend on so many libraries... It's more matter of what you like..
Don't let people make those decisions for you. Again. It all depends on what you're going to build. Things like my chicken coop where I was limited in memory and performance was definitely a c program. On the other hand, if you've got the space and you can put the runtime libraries in rust is fine.
I don't consider myself qualified to be an expert in rust.. but I can talk to you all day about c
I’ve written in C almost exclusively for decades. I found Rust while trying to prove it /wasn’t/ suitable for cryptography on a microcontroller project. Some “hacker” who had done a photo shoot for Playboy convinced my CEO we needed to use Rust. She was right, I was wrong.
A few years later, different project, I proposed and used Rust exclusively for 2-3 years. Then another C project came up. That’s when I realized that using Rust, fighting the compiler, borrow-checker, etc actually made me a _better_ C programmer.

That comic was directed at me :-P

Do with that what you will.
Yes, it was directed at you ja .. and rightfully so.😎
Of course, doing the time and learning anything is worthwhile
