How good is rust at using existing C/C++ libraries? There’s so many of them for very useful low-level functionality, especially when programming against the Win32 API (which is written in C/C++ itself). Could I write a Windows kernel driver in rust?
I also can’t ignore the fact that Mozilla has been in serious decline as an organization in recent years. I worry about rust’s long-term trajectory as their support of the language wanes. It’s one of the reasons I feel so positive about the future of go, as they have a lot of dedicated people on it from google (an organization that in all likelihood won’t be going anywhere anytime soon).
