nostr:npub1wptc6fhq2uhc83t40cukd5xlajmquwrle3az5mqvmv4sz38x7rksx4fee2 I built readrust.net with it in 2019 https://github.com/wezm/read-rust because at the time I didn’t feel any of the Rust frameworks were batteries included enough. It's been set and forget since then, which has been nice.
1/3

Pros:
- Fast and efficient native binary
- Productive and fun to write
- Static types without much ceremony! I've had almost no runtime issues
- Pretty easy interop with C
- Null safety (see Cons also)
2/3

Cons:
- No incremental compilation so compile time after small changes can be annoying
- Limited library ecosystem — you might need to write your own shards
- I feel like there's not quite the same standard of quality in libraries as with Rust crates. I've run into more bugs
- Null safety feels more cumbersome than Rust. I miss all the combinators on Option
- Error messages can be pretty bad (difficult to understand) particularly when coming from macros
3/3
