I don't want to sound too girle or fanboyish but there is no other way to say it so I'll say it (hopefully he won't read this)- Mark Russinovich transcends titles and if he's said something about technology, it's probably 99.999% true.
Also, RITF, I love Rust but remember zig exists so chill
I also want to say one thing-- sometimes it's not so easy to just decide to write a project and say okay let me write this in Rust. You have to see available ecosystem. I hate python because I'm a systems programmer at heart but damn sometimes all it takes is a pip install, import and 3 lines to get going and understanding things.
Rust ecosystem is hugely lacking. I don't want to spend time writing boilerplate FFI. I've heard zig is better in this regard
On that note,is there a not self hosted but reasonably popular chat service that i don't know of where i can give people my username a la discord and have them chat with me? I cannot continue to use discord in good conscience
