    Watch out: That mindset is what got me into Rust in the first place!

    I was so fed up with everybody drowning on about Rust that I thought I need to read up on it a bit so that I can argue against the hype. I am a seasoned C++ dev after all, I use a language that I picked because it allowed for robust and fast code. What could Rust add on top of that?

    Well, I have a job working almost exclusively with rust now and do not plan to ever go back.

      As mostly a novice (interested, but unpracticed) programmer I see it as an updated/upgraded C family language?

      I don’t think there would be a large learning curve?

        The basics are all the same:. memory, cpus and caches in between ;-)

        But rust does approach many things very differently from C or C++. Learning those new approaches takes time and practice.
